I don’t know about you but lately I’ve been feeling a little out of sorts. My emotions have been all over the place. I was taught to never show my emotions to anyone by my family of origin. They taught me to never be upset and if I was upset something wrong with me. And I didn’t deserve to get a hug nor get any love until I straightened up.
I think back as a small child and realized I didn’t get to share my feelings. I was told how to feel and act, the way my family saw things were correct but the way I saw things were stupid and ridicules. So, I just tried to get along and do everything they said I should be like.
Once I got older, about preteen, I started to have more hormones and I rebelled. I sassed my mother, and she couldn’t codependently control me anymore. Oh, but she kept trying. We didn’t see things the same at all. It frustrated her to not have control over my words I said nor my thoughts.
Later on, when I became a teenager my mother and I didn’t get along It became more destructive. She never could figure me out. She really didn’t try that hard. All she had to do is sit with me and ask me questions about how I thought about things in life. And give me a hug sometimes would have been nice.
Now as I’m an adult woman my emotions have gotten better. Not always though I was excepting Christ would change the way I thought. I realized not long ago that the way I think is a strength. I can see people’s hearts not so much their physical appearance. I do believe God gave me that ability as a young child. And that would frustrate my family badly. They always wanted to talk about people that looked awful and didn’t think like they did about different things in life.
I feel so blessed that Yeshua taught me the way I think is one of my strengths. That I have the ability to love people just as they are and see the good deep inside of them and if they don’t have good and even if they are fooling others. I know what Yeshua says in His word that is His discernment. Gosh! I never thought I was good until Yeshua showed me this ability I was blessed with. Praise God for that.
