Topic: Troubles In The Defensive Life

Trouble in relationships is like fever in the body. Trouble in relationships is an indicator something is wrong and needs changing, treatment, attention, diagnosis, and some kind of action on your part. Someone who lives a defensive, dependent life crumbles when threatened. A threat casts the defensive person into despair. Living a defensive and dependent life creates faulty relationships one after another. Defensive people defeat themselves with their own defenses, always trying to justify themselves. This is how the darkness threatens and keeps the defensive person captive. However, when we are ultimately threatened we often let the defense rest or let the defense down. Then we can let the Light of God's redeeming love work within our heart and life. People grow to be defensive because they have been hurt or deprived. Even when people are hurt by accident, the way people handle the accident, as well as how they use, build, grow, and heal from the accident is determined by whether a person chooses to live in the darkness or live in the Light after the accident happens.
