They muck you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to, but they do. They fill you with the faults they had And add some extra, just for you.
But they were mucked up in their turn By fools in old-style hats and coats, Who half the time were soppy-stern And half at one another's throats.
I am unique and beloved of God.
God has a plan for each of us. That includes me.
It's ok to want or need something from someone else.
The fact that someone says no to my request doesn't mean I shouldn't have asked in - the first place.
Turning the other cheek is not the same as caving in. Jesus was not a walk-over.
I can stand it if I don't get what I want or need.
During the temptation in the desert Jesus said no three times because it was right to do so. It is not un-Christian to say no.
There is no law that says that other people's opinions are more valid than mine.
If we can let go of the lies that we have learned we are much less likely to pass them on to others.
