Do you know how to get your needs met? Do you even know what they are? Many of us in difficult relationships lose ourselves. We get so involved with taking care of and fixing other people that we neglect ourselves. It makes it even worse when other people tell us that taking care of ourselves is somehow selfish and “unChristian.” As a result, we accept these lies, deny we have needs and lose touch with what they are.

Christian codependency tells us that God is pleased with us when we neglect ourselves. It tells us that giving is more important than getting and that we are to always put others above ourselves. This is not true. Jesus took care of himself. He rested, prayed, took time to be alone, ate, and fellowshipped with others. The Apostle Paul told husbands that they should take good care of their wives–just like they take good care of themselves. God wants you to take care of yourself.
