Often times our biggest struggle is focusing too heavily on our faults or failures. When we can learn to recognize the struggles of those around us, considering that more often than not we don't react negatively out of intentional desire but from a place of struggle or pain, we don't lean into negativity and instead find ways to show support and love to others… empathizing with them. Whenever I do this, especially in my marriage, I find that a byproduct/fruit of that decision is I feel more balanced; I feel more stable and I don't struggle with my responsibilities and my role as husband, leader and father. It’s really true that “it’s better to give than to receive”. Let's work to empathize with the struggles and pains of those God has placed in our families and our lives. By starting there, we can lean into the strength of our calling and be lights/examples to those we love.
