Oh! I so relate. Through the book Search for Sgnificance” by Robert McGee, I found an affirmation that is erasing the groove and cutting a new one: “I have great worth apart from my performance because Christ gave his life for me, and therefore, imparted great value to me. I am deeply loved, fully pleasing, totally forgiven, accepted, and complete in Christ.”
It's as though you were talking about me. I wanted to be accepted by my mom during my teenage years but I always turned around on me. My mom and I didn't get along... it wasn't until I was about 50, after my ex-husband died that It was suggested to me that I should talk to my mom about the sexual abuse I went through. I know God knows how it effected me and it still does, but, it doesn't define who I am... because now I am who I am because the I AM says I am!! AMEN 🙏
This is a reflection of what so many of us has endured. BUT God! We long to be seen, known, and validated. BUT God! He alone elevates and sustains us. I'm praying for everyone "still on the steps" to know the presence of the One who loves us most.
This is incredible. I deeply relate and find it so encouraging! 🙂
You don't know how this touches me. Thank you. So much here. Grace has a sound. I always hear it, but I am still stuck in so many ways.
Wish I knew the right words to express all within me. But God knows.

I say it at least once a day and often more. Bring sweet relief

"the silence felt like a verdict". Powerful.
