In I Don’t Get
Wholeness… That’s the Problem, Paula White looks at the fundamentals of
healthy relationships that we permit in our life. Paula White has had to endure
and overcome the negative voices who tried to tear her down and stop her from
fulfilling her destiny. Her father committed suicide when she was just five
years old and she also suffered from being sexual abused by other men in her
life. She learned how to start developing healthy relationships that pushed her
to go further and higher. In healthy relationships, we must have the freedom to
be ourselves, let others be themselves, and display the concept of letting
others change and grow. The book is written to help readers to achieve
wholeness first and to receive what God declares about us. If you’re not whole,
then your relationships won’t be whole and healthy either. It’s vital that we stop
looking for outside sources to repair the inner issues. She also explored three
ways to break generational curses that have been placed by previous generations.
Nine keys to healthy relationships were included in this book to demonstrate
what wholeness actually looks like.
Some
of my favorite quotes are:
“If I am going to change my behavior, I have to change my
beliefs” (Page 32).
“If you don’t acknowledge the inaccurate message in your
life, you cannot defeat it” (Page 75).
“When God wants to bless you, He sends a person into your
life. When Satan wants to mess you up, he sends a person into your life” (Page
91).
“You cannot conquer what you don’t confront, and you
cannot confront what you don’t identify” (Page 107).
I would recommend this life enlightening book to anyone
struggling to form healthy relationships. This book showed readers how to
identity dysfunctional family patterns and relationships. I found that I have
to state my expectations when I enter into relationships. I realized that one
of the reasons is because I fear being let down and disappointed. The book
revealed that I have trouble receiving compliments but it’s ironic if they
speak something negative, I receive it as truth! This book was extremely
helpful in exposing many of the lies that I have believed and I realized that I
have to replace the lies with the truth of God’s Word. Strongholds were broken
when I started standing and rejecting the lies! The generational curses chapter
assisted me in stopping the curses from repeating. The book enclosed tons of scriptures
to breaking the past curses from my forefathers. Blessing can actually be
released! If you’re longing to be completely whole in your relationships then
this book will be a huge benefit in helping you obtain wholeness! I loved how
Paula White isn’t a preacher and an author who tells you what you want to hear!
She isn’t afraid to confront the dysfunctional issues and she speaks the truth that
we desperately don’t need sugarcoated or downplayed. If this astonishing book
is applied it can truly change the structure of your relationships! Healthy
relationships will be established.
