Show Notes

Psychiatrist Thomas Hora believed that most modern relationships would be characterized primarily by disappointment. A western consumerist mindset has shaped how we relate to one another, even our loved ones, creating relationships that constantly feel discontent. Like interlocking fingers of two hands placed together, the fingers can intertwine only to a point before no more movement is possible except by going backward, causing friction and pain among the too tightly woven fingers. But Psalms 146 shows us a different path to joy for every part of our lives, including our relationships. It starts by letting go of our need to justify ourselves or to justify others' presence in our lives and ends in unrestrained happiness which flows from a genuine trust in God.
