So beautiful, how God has planned it for

I dont have any fond childhood memories with my mom. My family is so toxic. I deal with a lot of pain, trauma and grief but the Lord has been helping me alot

So many of us are so disconnected. We got no empathy and we got no understanding of what it means to relate anymore. It's an epidemic. Even in the church. Even Christian counselors I've run into are like this. And it completely erodes trust.

But I'm not gonna let that stop me. I want to connect, empathize and relate to others. I want to embody the love of God, whether others do it or not.

Super interesting because my mother nursed me. She was handicapped though. My lack of trust comes from a lack of a healthy relationship with my father.

Trust then betrayal. I don’t remember way back then, but I suspect it was easier to trust.

I struggle with OCD and OCD scrupulosity for many many years...
And I found out recently about the unforgivable sin (I mean It was already really bad before already) and my mind started saying WHAT IF you actually meant it this way? As soon as I mentioned the holy Spirit Or WHAT IF you said this, or for example just now, if you type this, "x stuff is gonna happen"

And talking about the unforgivable sin, my psychologist told me to say it 🗣️... as if that was gonna help... Now my mind said what if you meant it? My mind just looks to sabotage me... Ppl with OCD will get me, if I try to make it better I just worsen it... So I said to my mind, look I can say it in a convincing tone, and still I wouldn't mean it... And then my mind was like that was said like an actor applying for a movie, what if you meant it now?

And it feels like I got 2 minds one just going against my identity, who I truly am, etc. but hopefully the message is to trust God and that he knew I was gonna go through all this to the point I'm at right now... 🙏🏻

This is why the current cultural zeitgeist is so malevolent and toxic with the new order of family structures and gender.
