I've been neglecting my blog and missed your comment. <br /><br />I'm sorry for what you've been through. The ghosts of your past will not be quickly silenced. Old ways of thinking and living don't vanish overnight. I still struggle with this. But don't ever give up. Because it is important to know God as He is and as He has revealed Himself to be in the fullness of Scripture. <br /><br />God bless you as you seek to know His love and mercy and to reflect it to your children.<br />Laurie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15840896949617719814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441908040982501903.post-39114001519027246502017-01-02T21:05:54.785-08:002017-01-02T21:05:54.785-08:00This is so beautiful. I can relate to this with so...This is so beautiful. I can relate to this with so much heartache. I grew up with exactly these beliefs. Exactly this view of God...and now as an adult and a mother, I'm struggling so hard not to pass that on to my own children. I'm realizing that only by accepting grace for myself can I let go of the need to control and force the demands of Law onto my children. Only by accepting God's love for me can I have any love to give them. The tears and heartbreak of the failures I've experienced already as a mom sometimes try to push me back into the old despair of not measuring up to God's expectations of perfection. But I'm learning to let those choking fears go, and to trust God that he is enough. That's he's enough for me, enough for my children, and that because of that, I am enough, and loved.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your own pain and struggle, and the healing truth of the true heart of God towards his children!Jamie Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17625158658426087202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441908040982501903.post-77724939585812314942014-09-25T16:57:29.382-07:002014-09-25T16:57:29.382-07:00Beautiful!
