You being the one often to text, send an email, a VM or a call can feel wearing even unhinged. Causing the initiator to feel emotions of lack of reciprocation. They, the receivers’ express enjoyment of receiving the acknowledged attention but lack any motivation to reply back in a reasonable matter. In Mindset shift of focus let’s look at, consider how they respond back when a reach comes there way! Rather than who started the initiated communication, acknowledge the togetherness. Is there enthusiasm? Appeared interest, and mutual effort? Seeing signs of an wanting healthy connect? Ultimately, at some point there must be shown some common attention back. There must be shown some level of reciprocal value! The initiator could feel they’re just being tolerated. The initiator wants no waste of time and efforts and will do all things worthwhile to show interest!
God Word
If they slowly in mutual effort exert a rational reply back, well than your efforts shown wasn’t in vain! Though you’re the initiator of communication you should remain who you are and not change this positive pattern. The Word encourages believers to actively change negative patterns by renewing their minds with His truth, not conforming to worldly ways (Romans 12:2), putting off the old self (Ephesians 4:22-24), and replacing it with Christ-like attitudes, and true transformation. Consistent behavior is a major key of intentionality to uplift and keep cohesiveness. Those who reveal a level of investment back are worth continued engagement with. And those who don’t well, we must pray for them. That is where focus should be at, on them who DO come around and exert a reply back. Not focus on those who show no interest. We remove ourselves from them who disregard us to protect our own hearts.
