Everything in you might be raging with fear, but he is already on the other side of your pain, inviting you into his rest and joy.īy the way, the Urban Mystic podcast mentioned above is one of the best interviews I’ve ever been part of because of the depth of the questions being asked by my two South African hosts. I love coming back to that place of recognizing how powerless I am without him, and though he doesn’t always do things the way I want, he has a plan that will work all things for his good and purpose, which will also be to my ultimate blessing. When I live in that space of confidence-that God is working through the painful circumstances of my life-I live more at rest than when anxiety takes over, and I think I have to “do something” to fix things. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit apart from me you can do nothing.” But, Jesus settled me once again and His words in John 15:5 take on an eternal life-giving meaning: “I am the vine you are the branches. More than once, I’ve found myself chasing after my well-trained, self-reliant tactics. The reality of having a performance-driven first part of my life is that I so often find myself a few steps ahead of prayer and ultimately out of sync with Jesus. I believe this is God’s work and I also know that your sharing words contribute to God’s glory in my life. So many times, your voice has helped me to fight the accuser’s voice in some dark moments. Thank you for continuously sharing with us your journey with a loving Father. The accuser’s voice does not equal God’s voice.

What a paradigm shift it is when you realize “He’s got me,” and loves me first. The accuser’s voice always demands that I reach “perfection” first before receiving God’s approval. I love how Jesus grabbed Peter “at once” when he started to sink. One of those things was “God being on the other side of my brokenness.” It resonates so well with me as this realization is what also changed my life. I really enjoyed the Urban Mystic podcast you were on. So much of what you said made me sit back quietly and ponder on the ideas. I received this email from her a few days ago: I’m going to let Hilda write my blog today. Into the lap of my soul and I mothered her. Remembering how we had to survive by fortressing, Giving her the gift of her voice-her pain, her anger, her tears.įeeling her youth and the shattering of her innocence. Onto the seat next to me-wrapping my arms around her, Of hunger, ache, resentment, shame, loneliness-īut the neglect of my own little soul wasīut here, now, in this beauty I scoop her up Laced with tears, washing my face, my soulĪs I remembered the girl I left behind so long ago. Set in the midst of the beauty of the setting sun,Īnd its safe embrace, a softness rises in me (for so long I have just wanted to leave it buried. Its drama unfolding as if it were yesterday-Īnd instead of looking away, I fixed my gaze there. I also wanted to print it here for those that wanted a copy. We talk about it more on today’s podcast. On my recent trip to North Carolina, a good friend of mine, Dana Andrechyn, shared with me a poem she wrote that captures so well what it is like to run from the pain of the past and then finally find just the right time and space for Jesus to bring healing to your broken heart. On last week’s podcast and today’s at The God Journey, Kyle and I talk about dealing with the long-term effects of unresolved childhood trauma.
