This is a simple revelation. Nothing too deep. But relationships are blinding sometimes. Friends, Family we become so connected to them that sometimes we forget they are people. Created at a different time for a different purpose. We treat them as Siamese twins of emotions..."if i feel like this then you must feel the same way!" "If you are my friend you have to agree with me!" or how many times have we prayed for our family and tried to manipulate God to get them to do something in our favor? Its like "If you give my parents $5million dollars they could buy me something cuz they love me... and I sure do need new car!"
The thing is we are all a different people going a million of directions, light speed at the same time, created for entirely different purposes (1 Chor 1-30). Just because we are in relationship, doesn't make them our Siamese twin. So if you are gonna pray for someone, especially an intimate prayer, pray for them as people and not as your mom, dad, sister, husband, wife...pray for them as children of God...think of their best interest not yours...and watch God spill over their blessings to you if they are intended....this is a quick way of making you selfless and pointing the eyes of the people we love back to where and who they belong...
