Co Dependency-Self Esteem

Understand Who we are In Christ? These truths are confirmed by God's Word (finished by Jesus) and believed by faith (our part). People tend to react without thinking. We have a choice, a responsibility, and an opportunity to live by faith.

Co Dependency-Self Esteem - Self esteem is often based on others behavior/response that reinforces a dependency on others reaction for my self esteem and identity. We tend to feel better with a patterns that are familiar. Familiar situations often reinforce past pattern's to remain in co-dependency. We can be co-dependent on people or any situations. Self esteem greatly affects and reinforces co-dependency, so a persons familiar behavior pattern of co dependency persisted. Also, a persons self esteem remains low as it is positively reinforced by focusing on other people's responses rather than seeking and taking personal responsibly. When self esteem is based on living by other peoples’ expectations rather than doing the right thing, people often escape personal responsibility. Often life's choices are based on others reaction. This pattern is reinforced each time a similar situation occurs. In this pattern a person is often remain degrees of irresponsibility thinking, 'I am all right or all wrong.' This pattern focus produces triangles. Triangle occur when for example, when two or more people project responsibility on another person who then accepts responsibility for others. We are only responsible for our own behavior and choices.

By Faith - Faith is based on belief. People tend to ignore or deny their faults by them covering up. The only effective way to resolve personal problems is to identify and deal with ourselves responsibly. Once true responsibility is understood people do not focus on other people or their self esteem. Fellowship is to love, encourage, and exhort us to seek Jesus. Only in a relationship with Jesus can we exchange dependency with faith. Blessing will follow.
