"LIES"-EMOTIONS ARE UNNECESSARY, BOTHERSOME AND EMBARRASSING.
EMOTIONS ARE BAD AND DANGEROUS, SO I AM SAFE WHEN I AVOID THEM.
WHEN I FELT SAD AS A CHILD, NO ONE WAS THERE FOR ME. I COULDN'T STAND TO FEEL THAT DESPAIR AND LONELINESS AGAIN. UNLESS I EXPLODE WITH ANGER, PEOPLE WILL WALK ALL OVER ME.
"TRUTH"-EMOTIONS ARE A GIFT FROM GOD AND THEY ARE, INTEGRAL PART OF MY HUMAN NATURE WHICH REFLECTS HIS IMAGE. EMOTIONS ARE NEITHER GOOD OR BAD. EMOTIONS CAN BE EXPRESSED APPROPRIATELY, AND I CAN LEARN TO DO THAT. I AM LESS OF WHAT GOD CREATED ME TO BE WHEN I AVOID FEELING EMOTIONS.
WHEN I AM ABLE TO FEEL MY EMOTIONS, I WILL BECOME MORE AUTHENTIC AND ALIVE.
IT IS APPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN TO FEEL CONFUSED, AFRAID, SAD AND/
OR ANGRY WHEN THEIR PARENTS NEGLECT AND/OR ABUSE THEM. THOSE FEELINGS DO NOT GO AWAY JUST BECAUSE I HAD TO LEARN TO DEADEN, AND DISOWN THEM. THEY ARE STILL INSIDE, AND THEY ARE EFFECTING
MY LIFE TODAY. ITS BEST TO FACE AND FEEL THEM HONESTLY
IT IS APPROPRIATE TO FEEL ANGER MISLEADING AND/OR ABUSING CHILDREN ANGERS GOD. I CAN LEARN TO EXPRESS ANGER APPROPRIATELY AND WITHOUT SINNING. I CAN LEARN APPROPRIATE, BOUNDARY-SETTING TECHNIQUES SO THAT I DON'T HAVE TO HIDE BEHIND MY SHIELD OF ANGER.
WE ARE SAVED BY "GRACE." LET GOD GIVE YOU HIS GIFT OF GRACE. REMEMBER YOU HAVE BEEN COVERED WITH MY FORGIVENESS SINCE "CALVARY; NOW WALK IN FREEDOM FROM THE PAST. THE KING OF GRACE.....FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD, AND ARE JUSTIFIED FREELY BY THIS GRACE THROUGH THE REDEMPTION THAT CAME BY CHRIST JESUS...ROMANS 3:23-24 NIV
DO YOU BELIEVE?
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT WE ARE HERE BECAUSE OF A MIGHTY GOD AND NOT BECAUSE OF A MUDDY GLOB? WE HAVE A GOD WHO IS ALL POWERFUL, ALL KNOWING, AND EVER PRESENT. A BOUNDARY IS SIMPLY A PROPERTY LINE. IT CLARIFIES WHERE YOU END AND THE OTHER PERSON BEGINS... BOOK-BOUNDARIES...BY HENRY CLOUD & JOHN TOWNSEND
