Believing in Our Personhood

The person who believes in us always guides us towards our God-given adulthood, our personhood, our identity. They don't try to make our decisions for us. They don't try to analyze us. This is a healthy form of interdependency albeit counter-intuitive, where we become the directors of our own lives by giving trusted others access into ours. Those we give access to are so pivotal to our emotional and spiritual health. Give access to one who tries to analyze your decisions for you and you'll never mature.

Sometimes they pursue us. Sometimes we have to find them. Do you have one? One who affirms your personhood?
