A relationship by Joyce Meyer

Joyce Meyer tells us, with you getting in the middle, you are trying to be me, and you are keeping that person from connecting with me. So you need to just let me sever everything that’s unhealthy, and you just be healthy with that person.” I think sometimes we want something so much from another person that we end up not understanding how to just be healthy. I’ve made so many mistakes in my marriage and with my friends that if I had friends who just gave up on me, then I would be written off. I also think it’s very important to confront. I recently had a little situation where I have a friend I absolutely adore and there was something that was said and that happened, and I thought, “I can either just pull away and she’ll never know why and there’ll be this breach between us, or I can call her and I can say, ‘I want a relationship with you.'” And that’s what I did. I said, “I want a relationship with you, and I need to tell you what I’ve heard and let me tell you what’s happened. I don’t even know how to navigate this, but I know that at the end of this phone call, I want a relationship with you.

So let’s figure out how we’re going to walk through this together as two women of God and come out of this stronger.”  It was amazing because some of us are just making it up as we go along, Joyce, because this hasn’t really been patterned for us. So I was like, “I don’t know what I’m asking you to do, but all I know is I want a relationship with you, so how can we move forward?” Joyce Meyer Ministries tells us that  it was just one of the most amazing, restorative things. She wrote me a letter afterwards and said, “I just appreciate it that you didn’t just pull away.”
