being around you? Would they say you are practicing affirmation as a predominant pattern in your relationship with them? How long have you been at it? You may have first dug a very large hole, overspent your account, or picked a scab that needs more time and more healing salve. Have you put an artificial deadline on God to act? Are you doing it only if “it works,” meaning that people shape up? Rather, affirm because it’s right, looking to God to be your reward.
