john mcinroe back a few years wrote a book about his
life. at one point in his life he was
married to tatum o’neal. now she
responded to what he had written about her in a barbara walters’ interview.
in the interview she talked about her life, growing
up with her father ryan o’neal and the lack of love she felt there, the
marriage to john, the wrong on both sides, the anger that was in that
marriage. but particularly she talked
about her children toward the end of the interview. she said this, “i have never known
unconditional love. i get it from
them. they are the purest human beings
in the world.”
that’s a nice thought but the problem with that is
she was setting herself up for another fall.
those kids can’t love her unconditionally any more than anybody else can
in this world.
if you’re looking to your children to give you
perfect love so you can make it in this world you’re in big trouble. because they’re just human beings like you
and me. and anytime we expect out of a
human being what only GOD can give then there is incredible stress. great weight on the relationship and a crash
is on the way.
listen. what
need have you been expecting some other person to meet that only GOD can
meet? what need do you right now need
to do a transfer and realize i’ve been asking them to meet a need that i need to expect GOD to meet in my life. maybe
it’s just the biggest need, the greatest most urgent need in your life right
now. whatever it is GOD can meet that
need. take it to HIM. talk to HIM about it. tell HIM about it.
just a thought from the front porch…
