The Hard Truth: Why Others Can’t Love You Enough and Why You Should Love Yourself – By Dr. Ranil Sugathadasa   Source : Dr. Ranil Sugathadasa Linkedin We often expect the people around us, whether it’s our partners, friends, or family, to fulfill our emotional needs. We look to them for validation, affection, and love, and when they don’t meet our expectations, we feel disappointed, even hurt. But here’s the hard truth: No one can ever love you as much as you want. It’s not because people don’t care or don’t try; it’s because they can’t. And that’s okay. The real source of happiness doesn’t come from external love; it comes from learning to love yourself. This may sound simple, but it’s a profound shift in thinking that can revolutionize how you experience love, happiness, and fulfillment in life. Why Others Can’t Love You the Way You Want Everyone Has Their ...

Check Your Couple relationship with these simple Tips – By Nisal Rukshan Even when we are born alone—just milliseconds out of the womb—relationships grow. It’s becoming more complex with different interactions. Relationships with parents, siblings, relatives, and friends give some wider social explanations to individuals. Most of these interactions include the essence of love plus and minus according to status. According to the American Psychologist Association (ACA), love is “a complex emotion involving strong feelings of affection and tenderness for the love object, pleasurable sensations in his or her presence, devotion to his or her well-being, and sensitivity to his or her reactions to oneself.

SUNDAY CHOICE – PRAYING FOR OTHERS – by Charles Schokman There is a misconception that only certain people are called or gifted to be intercessory prayer warriors. There are people in our churches and our lives who seem to have that special intimate connection with God. They are relentless when it comes to praying for others. The truth is we are all called to pray for others. In Ezekiel 22:30, God is searching for those who would stand in the gap, to intercede for others. The invitation is for all Christians to serve through intercessory prayer. Praying for others is not a choice; it is our privilege.  Whether we believe it or not, we are all equipped to be prayer warriors on behalf of others. We are heirs with Christ. We are adopted sons and daughters and therefore possess the same power and access to God that our Saviour enjoys. We can whisper, or cry out, ...

SUNDAY CHOICE   In memory of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth11 and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh who lived a life of Togetterness, growing old Gracefully. Growing old together. Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.”  Isaiah 46:4 “There is a relational richness that comes from growing old together. It may be parents, children, siblings, friends, church acquaintances, or a work associate who contributes to a caring community. Regardless of the source of relational fulfillment, it brings to life the Lord’s creative design of intentionality in doing life together. We are not created by our heavenly Father to be isolated and insecure. His plan for us is to engage with each other in meaningful conversation, patient prayer, loving service, and relaxing recreation. Families and friends ...
