And, with this culture being afraid to discipline (one of the aspects of love) you can see why the Infantile gets by with so much, and why they attract those who need to “fix” people. The codependent person gets caught up in the infantile demands, then gets blasted by the infantile, then feels guilty because he/she hasn’t loved good enough. Bold Love by Dan Allender, Chapter 4 “War of Hearts” speaks well on this subject.

The thing that is awesome about God – is that he never gives up – there is always hope for change and for growth.
He is always a God of opportunities and open doors.

The self – centered nature that infantiles have is tragic – I should know; it is very difficult for me to see things through other’s eyes – through the eyes of God.

My sin is especially difficult to see clearly – I love to make excuses for why I failed – why I have justifiable selfishness. Why they made me do it.

I used to look at Adam and Eve and think – haha – you losers – you had it so good – you ruined it for us all – for me.

I am just as guilty of placing the blame on others as they did. I apologize – full of “but’s” – “but he did this or but I was tired – but nobody care for me.” It is hard to take full responsibility for hurting others or for failing – until I do, I can not fully appreciate what I have been forgiven.

I look forward to reading the next installment. BTW – so my feelings are hurt – that is okay – maybe I should be sad for awhile. Maybe it is okay to hurt – without the quick fix.
