QUIRKS AND IDOSYNCRACIES

Dear One,
The more frequently you are exposed to a person, the more pronounced his idiosyncrasies are to you, and the more exposed your quirks are to him.
The less often you see an individual the less often you are exposed to his idiosyncrasies and the less often he is exposed to your quirks.
You must recognize the fact that you can love a person from afar, appreciating him, extending grace to him and showing mercy to him from a distance.
The ease in doing so comes from recognizing that generational demons are often at the center of any problems that separate you. Without those personality traits, you could be best friends, able to exist together peacefully. However, with those family curses you are separated by traits that aggravate each other. That doesn't mean that you don't love each other. Those traits just cause you to rub each other the wrong way.
Remember the wisdom that I gave to one of My children, that in creating the human body I, in My wisdom, did not put the nose and the toes together. Likewise, in the body of Christ, often the parts of the body do not complement individuals who are in constant contact. Distance is sometimes necessary until the knowledge is firm about how to get rid of the abrasive personality traits.
I want you free. Freedom that comes from separation is sometimes necessary for good mental and spiritual health.
Keep yourself free from condemnation. Love from afar, if necessary; but you can still love and agree., praying for one another.
Love, God
Romans 8:6; Galatians 5:22; Ephesians 4:2
