SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 2017 5 A Your emotional health; good fruit or bad root Whenever I would share an opinion about something with Dave, if he didn’t agree with me, the fight was on. We would get into these big arguments and I would end up so confused, thinking, “I don’t even know what we’re talking about anymore.” The really frustrating thing was I didn’t understand what my problem was, so I just kept blaming it all on Dave. When we don’t take respon- sibility for our problems, we blame them on someone or something else. But when I finally got to the point where I was sick and tired of arguing with Dave all the time, I prayed for God to show me what was wrong. He answered my prayer and revealed that I had a root of rejection in my soul from the way I was raised, and until that root was dealt with, the fruit (or behavior) in my life would never change. When you’re afraid of rejec- tion, if people don’t agree with you, you feel rejected by them. So when Dave and I were try- ing to have a conversation, if he didn’t agree with me, I felt that he was rejecting me. The truth is when Dave had a different opinion, he wasn’t rejecting me; he was rejecting my opinion. And I had to learn to separate who I am from my opinion and trust that whether or not he liked my opinion, he still loved me. It was a major breakthrough for me to get this revelation. Through this situation I learned Watch “In Search of the Lord’s Way” Sunday, 7:30 AM KMTR Channel 12 Then visit the Florence church of Christ 1833 Tamarack Florence, Oregon Bible Study: Sunday, 10:00 am Worship: Sunday, 11:00 am www.churchofchristfl orence.org To be included in this directory contact the Siuslaw News at 997-3441, or drop off information at 148 Maple St., Old Town, Florence.

This is my prayer for you- that you would be planted deep in the knowledge that God loves you unconditional- ly and know that, while He may not always love every- thing you do, He always loves you. I also want to encourage you to spend time every day alone with God in prayer and study the Word. Dig in to scriptures about the love of God and choose to trust that every one of those promises is for you. The truth is: You are loved and you are valuable to God.

I want to ask you again: Are you emotionally healthy? Are you dealing with a root of rejection in your life? Is there a person in your life that you can’t talk to without getting upset or losing your temper? When someone disagrees with you does it make you feel insulted, stupid, rejected, or disrespected? If this is you, then you need to know that God doesn’t want you to live this way. In Ephesians 3, the apostle Paul prayed for the Ephesians: “That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.

When a great social crisis sweeps through a civilization, moral values become impaired and moral issues confused. In the crisis of the time, members of the Bahá’í Faith go on record as firmly uphold- ing the principle of loyalty to government. Bahu’lláh, the founder of the Bahá’í Faith, laid upon His followers this sacred obliga- tion: “In every country where any of this people reside, they must behave towards the gov- ernment of that country with loyalty, honesty and truthful- ness.” The Bahá’í Writings state further, “The essence of the Bahá’í spirit is that in order to establish a better social order and economic condition, there must be allegiance to the laws and principles of govern- ment.” The gathering will end at 8 p.m. with prayers for the requests left in the Prayer Pole in the garden of the Florence Playhouse and those shared by the group.

SAINT MARY, OUR LADY OF THE DUNES CATHOLIC CHURCH CRUISE Are you emotionally healthy? It seems there are a lot of people who aren’t, and I used to be one of them. Because I grew up in a very unstable, angry atmosphere and was abused by my father for years, I became a miser- able, angry, controlling adult and didn’t know how to have healthy relationships. And until I learned how to grow in my relationship with Christ, I was a mess in my soul. Many people have wounds in their soul because of things that have happened to them. They’ve been abused or mis- treated and it’s caused them to have a victim mentality, to get stuck in self-pity, to have an out-of-control temper or a con- stant sense of insecurity, and so on. When we have unhealthy emotions, and the bad behavior that comes as a result of it, we have to get to the root of the issue to fix it. Matthew 12:33 (NLT) says, “A tree is identified by its fruit. If a tree is good, its fruit will be good. If a tree is bad, its fruit will be bad.” In other words, where there’s rotten fruit, there’s a rotten root. I remember years ago when I would complain to Dave, say- ing, “We don’t talk about any- thing.” Finally, one day Dave said to me, “You know, Joyce, WE don’t talk. YOU talk and you want me to listen and agree with you.” He was right. WHAT IF THE EARTH HAS MORE THAN 4 CORNERS? Timothy Hill, St. Kitts STOP WONDERING. START WANDERING.
