Let’s truly practice what Jesus commanded in Mark 12:31: “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.”
Kind, simple responses like I posted in the chat will be fine

WEDNESDAY – Day 1: Responding to Others
"Loved to Love"
Ephesians 1:5
************
Melancholic
Question:
1️⃣ How do I handle people who don’t seem emotionally deep or serious?
Ans:
Before: Yes, I would quietly criticize and pull away, but now, I am learning to connect without needing depth all the time. Because deep comes high levels of commitment, consistency and sincerely of heart- more over, trust and deep love for God and others.
📖 Ephesians 1:5 – "God decided in advance to adopt us... and it gave Him great pleasure."

July 24 - Day 2: Receiving and Extending Grace
"Loved to Love"
Ephesians 1:7
**************
Melancholic
Question:
2️⃣ How do I respond to people who don’t meet my expectations?
Ans:
Before: I would feel dissappointed. And at times I would got cold, quiet and distant from them. (Give them space)
Now: Am I learning to see them more and know that they are not perfect, but that only Christ is perfect. I know that He paid the ultimate sacrifice for our sin, so my expectation is to be obedient, and that I may offer grace ask God to work in both our lives, as we seek daily to receive our reward; His inheritance on that faithful day!!
📖 Ephesians 1:7 – "He purchased our freedom... and forgave our sins."
Friday July 25- Day 3: Seeing Ourselves Clearly
"Loved to Love"
Ephesians 1:13
*************
Melancholic
Question:
3️⃣ How do I view my worth in comparison to others?
Ans:
I know that as person, my worth is not measured by what I have materially or financially, because Jesus loves me and I am His child, so that's where my worth is measured.
Before: Yes, I over-focused on flaws before, because I was always fixed on doing things right and getting things done on time. My need for perfectionism, blurred my vision then.
Now: Am I learning to rest in my God-given identity and stop striving to prove myself. I learning to trust God with my life and I am allowing Him to shape me and mold me, as He uses me for His honour and Glory. (I am a work in progress.)
📖 Ephesians 1:13 – "He identified you as His own by giving you the Holy Spirit."
Have a blessed day everyone!

1️⃣ How do I handle people who don’t seem emotionally deep or serious?
Before: Did I quietly criticize or pull away?
Now: Am I learning to connect without needing depth all the time?
📖 Ephesians 1:5 – "God decided in advance to adopt us... and it gave Him great pleasure."
Before:
There were times I did both based on the situation. I often long for rich, deep connections. So when conversations seemed empty or people seem emotionally unavailable, I sometimes withdraw—not always outwardly, but at times inwardly. I may assume they don’t care, especially in relationships.
Now:
God is teaching me that every moment doesn’t have to be profound to be valuable. Small talk doesn’t mean small hearts. Joy and lightness doesn't mean one lacks sincerity. When I let go of needing everyone to “go deep,” I find freedom to enjoy people as they are—offering grace instead of expecting them to be like me.

2️⃣ How do I respond to people who don’t meet my expectations?
Before: Did I get critical or distant?
Now: Am I learning to offer grace as God works in them?
📖 Ephesians 1:7 – "He purchased our freedom... and forgave our sins."
Before:
Oh boy, this has been a struggle for so long, I always expected my expectations to be met, regardless as to what it is and When people didn’t meet my expectations—whether in how they followed through, communicated, or related—I often became quietly disappointed. I wouldn’t always say much, but internally, I’d pull back. Thinking “I expected more from you” or "this wasn't what I expected" became a silent wall I stood behind.
Instead of extending grace, I’d retreat. I wouldn’t lash out, but I’d quietly close my heart—creating distance when I felt let down.
Now:
This is where God is softening me. He reminds me that people are not projects, and they’re not always going to live up to my idealistic hopes or expectations —and that’s okay. Just like He is still working in me, He’s still working in them. Grace doesn’t mean lowering standards - it means holding them with love. I’m learning to stay present instead of withdrawing, to speak life instead of silently judging, and to remember that growth takes time—for everyone.

3️⃣ How do I view my worth in comparison to others?
Before: Did I over-focus on flaws or feel less than?
Now: Am I learning to rest in my God-given identity and stop striving to prove myself?
📖 Ephesians 1:13 – "He identified you as His own by giving you the Holy Spirit."
Before:
Yes. For a long time, I quietly struggled with comparison and self-criticism. I could easily see where I fell short—what I didn’t say right, what I could’ve done better. Others often seemed more confident, more vibrant, more capable. Even when I was surrounded by people, I sometimes felt invisible—not because they didn’t value me, but because of how I saw myself.
I measured my worth by performance, approval, or how well I kept it all together. I became my own harshest critic, over-focusing on flaws and underestimating my value.
Now:
God has been lovingly challenging that mindset. He’s teaching me that I don’t have to strive to prove myself. My value isn’t based on how impressive I am or how put-together I appear. It’s anchored in the fact that I am His.
I’m learning that being sensitive doesn’t make me weak. Struggling doesn’t make me less. Needing grace doesn’t disqualify me—it connects me to the One who freely gives it.
Now, when comparison creeps in or I feel like I’m not enough, I remind myself: “God doesn’t compare—He calls. And He calls me beloved.”
I’m learning to rest in His approval instead of reaching for everyone else’s. I’m choosing to be present, to trust His timing, and to believe that even in the quiet, unseen places, God is working in me.
Have a great day!

LOVED TO LOVE: MELANCHOLIC
Question : Before and now. How do you handle people who do not seem emotionally deep or serious?
1. BEFORE : I would just slowly shy away from such people, not having any meaningful relationship with them.
NOW: now as I am learning more about my self and others, I try to look beyond and be more accepting, as I have been accepted, not wanting depth all the time.
2. How do I respond to people who do not meet my expectation?
BEFORE: I would criticize, be sarcastic or even talk about them and my disappointment.
NOW: I try to understand, and offer grace, reminded that we are all flawed people, that still have weaknesses and God is still working on, it is a process.
3.BEFORE and NOW
How do I view my worth in comparison to others?
BEFORE: I used to beat up on my self silently, because I did not want to make a mistake or be wrong. I would play it over and over in my head.
NOW: I am growing and learning to rest in God knowing
that his love for me does not fluctuate, in what I do or not do, so I do not have to prove my self, just walk in obedience to him and keep looking to him.
Have a blessed day everyone,
Sister Hazel you said “ so I do not have to prove my self, just walk in obedience to him and keep looking to him. “ and this really stuck with me , thanks for sharing

Loved To Love. Phlegmatic /Melancholic
Wednesday:
Day 1: Responding to others
Question:
How do I respond when others are Intense or confrontational?
BEFORE: I was very emotional, and fearful, I would cry at any little thing, get angry and walk away without saying a word with malice in my heart. Sometimes I would shut down to avoid the escalation and prevent others from getting hurt. In some instances, my body’s reaction would speak for me, and then I would simply avoid that person.
NOW: With the help of the Holy Spirit and wise counsel I am more comfortable with engaging others, and confrontation, I don’t cry any more. God has Help me in these areas. I have learned to treat others as I would like to be treated, so now it is easier for me to interact with others. I feel I have made a lot of progress in that area. from the studies in Mark together with the Temperament gives me a clear understanding on how to deal with others. And Ephesians show me what God did for us in love. So, every time I must confront someone, I must remember to do it in love.
Thursday:
Day 2: Receiving and Extending Grace
Question: How do I view highly emotional or expressive people?
BEFORE: I Viewed them as strong, heartless, Controllers, bossy and unloving. Sometimes they came across in a way that scared me. I thought they tried to intimidate others with their boldness, and everything must be their way. I never saw them as friendly and caring about other people's feelings.
NOW: With all the teaching and bible studies, I realize that they are not as I perceived them to be, and that they have a soft spot also. I am learning that the way they are wired helps me to see them in a different light, and better understand why they act the way they do, my view about them has changed. After reading Ephesians 1:13 reminds me what Christ has done for us, it gives me a clear perspective, how I must treat them. We are all one in Christ.
Friday:
Day 3: Seeing Ourselves Clearly
Question:
How do I see my role in relationships?
BEFORE: In relationships I saw myself as being a follower for many years, because I was so slow and laid back. when it came to making decisions. I depended on others to make choices for me. I was afraid to step out of my comfort zone, and to do things for myself. I used to compare myself with others, and think that I was not good enough, who would listen to me. I thought my voice did not matter. Sometimes I even asked myself what would I have to offer when everyone seemed so upbeat and always ready to go.
NOW: Looking back at where I was and now, I am totally different, there is a big change in how I see myself and the role I play in relationships, with the help of the Holy Spirit. I now feel accepted, and my voice matters. I don’t feel pressured to make my own decision. I am getting better in leaving my comfort zone, its a work in progress. After listening to good advice, I learned to put proper boundaries in place, things are working out.
Thank you Sister Penny for taking us on this journey, it was very rewarding!!!
Have a great day everyone.
