Greetings Dear Reader,
I am not talking about the school of psychological thought
when I mention Transactional Analysis.
That is defined as “a system of popular psychology based on the idea
that one's behavior and social relationships reflect an interchange between
parental (critical and nurturing), adult (rational), and childlike (intuitive
and dependent) aspects of personality established early in life.” This may play into the discussion but I am looking
for something deeper and related to it.
I think that this type of thinking has merit in that it
gives us an idea of who or what influences our choices and actions. What we pursue so often reveals the reason
for the direction of our lives. What we
want drives us and the focusing of our energies on that drives our avocation,
vocation, and ultimately our lives.
Still, I am not trying to get into the analysis of the mind for the sake
of behavioral science.
Instead, I am looking into an idea that dances through my
mind often as I try to pursue a closer walk with Christ. If I want to make faith and following my focus,
I need to use a form of transactional analysis in my day. I need to consistently ask where Christ is in
the transaction. I need to analyze each thought,
feeling, and deed as to the presence of Christ in it and what he is saying to
me. I need to go deeper still. I need to pursue what Christ is saying in the
moment to express his love for me.
This hard deck of the journey, that I must capture every
thought relative to God’s love for me is vital to success. The analysis of every moment has the
potential to reveal the love of Christ in that moment. I invite you to walk with me a bit as we
ponder how to uncover that. I long to
find it and would like to share it with you Dear Reader. As always, I treasure your thoughts and questions
as well.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
