And then you can really show up selflessly and bless them and not need something in return.

Because there's just too many times I'm sure whoever asked the question and you and me as well have left rooms when we're like needing approval from someone.

And it just feels icky.

I'm like, Lord, I totally missed out.

I missed out on being who you've called me to be, on possibly blessing people with what you've put in me and receiving from what they had because I was so caught up.

And I say that with no shame or condemnation, but just awareness of like, yeah, I've been there.

I mean, it almost was like burned out of you.

I would even just close with, ask yourself in that wrestle, what am I needing from them?

And Lord, where can I find it in you?

Really good.

Just to be honest.

It could straight up just be like, I need affirmation.

And Lord, would you give it?

He's so good.

He loves to give that.

And so I would ask really brutally honest, what am I wanting from them?

Because that reveals the gap.

That reveals where we're needing the Holy Spirit to fill.

Right.

And God, would you fill that?
