The Confidence to Trust - Part 2

It is not uncommon for a person to feel disconnected from someone they love and care about. Losing touch emotionally or affectionately occurs when subtle changes take place over an extended period of time. A married couple may lose that special connection that brought them so much joy and mutual happiness in earlier days of marriage.

This can happen with a close friend or a child. Although it's hard to believe, it is possible to lose a sense of connection with one’s self by getting too strung out in a busy, stressful world. Neglect is most often the culprit.  Making choices to change is possible. Begin by asking God to provide insight into what gave neglect a foothold.

Moving past neglect may require some major lifestyle changes. The Apostle Paul reminds Timothy not to neglect the gifts that were given him. Relationships are a gift, not a possession. A major choice might include recommitting yourself to Christ Jesus and significant others. God will empower you to do what seems impossible.
