Proverbs 15:1 "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." Harsh words stir up fear and anger in me. Fear is often dominant for me. When I was a child I had a step father that was over the top on his discipline. He would say, “I only hurt you because I love you.” My real dad was across the country and I had no other Father figure active in my life. I internalized abuse with love. A person suffering under abuse often doesn’t even realize it’s happening. I remember believing the lie, “ if anybody really knew you they wouldn’t love you either.” I've had an extremely difficult time believing Jesus loves me just the way I am. Today, my health and wellness is based on "The Powerful gift of Jesus!” Jesus knows me, He loves me, He designed me on purpose for His purpose, I am forgiven, I am made new in His righteousness and I have Heaven to look forward to. Nothing can snatch me out of His loving arms. This life can be hard when we believe what man says about us we can coward and fear. Be strong in the Lord today! Fear not!!! We each have the strength and the beauty of the most high God inside of us. TRUST & SHINE!!!
