How we choose to perceive things.

I seriously wept today ... mother and father wounding can keep us from honoring leadership that God puts in our lives! I had to forgive my parents even deeper for not showing me the ways of Godly leadership. My parents didn't raise me in God's principles. I have to now be taught by the holy spirit and not be a victim and blame my parents for everything. I look back on my life now at 32 and realize their were many men and women of God I dishonored out of wounding from fatherlessness and motherlessness. Lord help me. I had to repent for dishonor. I had to weep for my sin of dishonor to authority. I was blind but now I see church. I rebelled against Godly authority out of pain, rejection and abandonment. I even ran from Godly authority at one time. Like the devil would say to me " they will leave you just like your parents, so why even bother"... sinister serpent 🐍 that devil is man. What a father of lies. The father of truth says "they will guide you into healing, wholeness and correction." Wowzers. Love you all! Thought I would share this revelation. Learning alot right now.

Jesus wins everytime... I went through the worst battle of my life. But God pulled me out... I have seen it over and over again. I sinned, I fell into a deep place, I thought I would never escape... Jesus brought me out... I'm still here. I'm seriously thankful to God for not leaving me to die. Sin leads to death... but Jesus destroyed the devils work. Please pray I get full deliverance and healing from whatever is trying to drag me down. I need peace... Jesus has been deep cleaning wounds from my teen years. It's been rough.

Do you agree or disagree with the thought that some of the pain we parents cause our children is due to the unresolved pain we still carry from our own childhoods?

One important but often missing piece when it comes to guarding our hearts is finding/creating relationships in which our hearts are not on guard. Hearts can get hardened when they never have a place to take off their armor.
