The disappointing of disappointment

The disappointing of disappointment-

We speak in Christian circles quite often of Godly sorrow

In my own experience I felt inferior, incapable, unworthy, from my childhood and piled some of it on later in my teens

Sorrow was unfortunately already there- as an identity

When there is not much clarity about why one may want to consciously choose sorrow- and for how long

We may miss the whole point- improving lifestyle and feeling the fruits of Gods spirit- among which disappointment is not listed

As long as I was “right” and “knew” who I was “incapable” “inferior” etc and it sat in the background as dogma- causing me to seek more evidence for those beliefs and feel ever worse and defensive

Then I lost contact with the fact that I even believed those things about myself

I didn’t want to think of those painful beliefs- so I sought to feel better by using a compulsive practice- the quickest and easiest way my brain knew to feel better

What we seem to miss is that God doesn’t want sorrow to hang around in us for a linger longer

He instead said “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”

What if He means to be saved from feeling disappointment?

What if He meant to be saved from depression?

What if He meant to be saved from compulsive practices and live free from all of the personal struggles?

What if all that and more is a possibility?

After all, repentance itself seems to point to a person changing their mind, breath etc to be able to live better and move on by NOT staying stuck in shame, disappointment, etc

And if you want to deal with all those concepts- yes they’re all concepts- and get to really dealing with what they really are- sensations in the body

And become free from the past sensations that are not helping you live free from addiction and depression

And the memories that lead you to feel that way

Come get help in person

Not through a magic medical method

But teaching the body a practical, new way of living
