who do you think you are

If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves.

- Galatians 6:3 (NIV)

 

There is a secular song on the Pandora station I listen to called “Jar of Hearts” by Christina Perri with some interesting lyrics: 
Who do you think you are?

Runnin' 'round leaving scars

Collecting your jar of hearts

Tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold

From the ice inside your soul

So don't come back for me

Who do you think you are?

Based on the whole song, I assume it was written about a guy that left his girlfriend and then came back expecting to be welcomed with open arms. 
I also assume that this guy thought a lot of himself, as many humans do.

And based on the whole song, she was not interested in having him destroy her again.

We are taught to carry each other’s burdens (Galatians 6:2) but we are not required to allow people to treat us poorly.

These are people who think they are better than us or that they do no wrong.

Everything that happens around them (or to them) is always someone else’s fault.

The girl in this song was not going to be deceived by the guy that broke her heart once and allow him back in her life.  

We should not be led to believe that something that was evil the first time will be any different the second time around.

We can forgive those who hurt us, but we don’t have to let them back in.

They are only deceiving themselves when they think they are something they are not.
