He's Good to You, but is He Good for You???
Manage episode 508589190 series 3346356
Have you ever found yourself in a relationship that looks perfect on paper, yet deep down, your spirit feels unsettled? That nagging feeling isn't wrong – it's wisdom trying to break through.
This powerful exploration delves into the critical distinction between partners who are simply "good to you" versus those who are genuinely "good for you." We've been conditioned to celebrate the absence of negative behaviors – he doesn't cheat, he's respectful, he has a good job – treating these basics as the full picture of love rather than merely its foundation. But this mindset leads us to confuse peace with purpose and mistake the absence of pain for the genuine presence of joy.
The real danger isn't found in obviously toxic relationships but in complacent partnerships that exist without passion or depth. These connections often feature partners who go through the motions – buying flowers, planning dates – while never truly seeing your ambitions, dreams, or authentic self. Over time, this emotional malnourishment can cause you to dim your light, shrinking your dreams and silencing your passions because your partner doesn't understand them. You might gradually disconnect from your authentic self to maintain a relationship that was never designed for your growth.
God didn't bring you through past challenges for you to settle for "almost" or become comfortable with lukewarm love. The love you truly deserve should feel like purpose, destiny, and home simultaneously, with a partner who isn't intimidated by your light but holds up a mirror so you can witness your own brilliance. Trust your intuition when it signals misalignment, even when everything looks right on paper – that quiet voice isn't doubt but your future self advocating for the complete love you deserve.
