Relationships are Magnifying Glasses

I believe that we all have or will have a relationship in our life that will bring out the worst in us.
In a weak relationship, we think that the other person is the problem, 
when really they are just a magnifying glass to our problems.
They bring out the areas where we are weak and ungodly so that we are forced to face it... 
The relationship begins to heal when we change our nature, not when they change.
The key to changing our own nature is tapping into God.  We cannot change ourselves on our own... we need to tap into his power (grace) and access the atonement of Christ.
