"As he thinketh in his heart, so is he".
The way we look at ourselves & feel about ourselves deep down in the heart of our personality-we will be and we will become. What we see and feel can & will determine our relationships with both God and other people. 3 important factors for healthy self image are
1) sense of belonging, or awareness of being wanted/excepted/cared for, enjoyed, loved.
2) sense of value or worth, our inner feeling that we have a sense of value or have something to offer
3) sense of being competent, feeling that can do it or that I can cope to the situation.
When we or our prodigals lack in any factors of these it can hinder or sa sabotage our relationship with God and each other. The thing to try and do is look at the situation we face when dealing with our prodigal and see if we can pinpoint what may be a factor that needs nurturing.
I'm really not sure where I was trying to go with this but I have been placing myself & trying to imagine myself being in my wifes shoes, trying to look at what she sees & feels? I don't know maybe I am just rambling...but wanted to share it anyways.
