Beneath the juniper…
Living reverentially
What we do to counter God’s will, what others do to mess things up, what Satan does to disorder things, NONE of that amounts to anything when it comes up against GOD.
I come to the cross
When “just pray” and “just breathe” do not work, this is my prerequisite.
Grace to change
Chronic abuse hangs on tight. It forms attitudes we take with us into adulthood. But we can change.
The weight
I don’t have to continue feeling afraid, suspicious, and angry. I don’t have to question myself or hate myself. I don’t have to. God makes all things new (Rev 21:5).
Changing how we see
Abuse bleeds into our perceptions of all things, but God’s grace offers the way out.
