On the question of fear, ask yourself: Do I fear people I know to be abusers?
Fear can be an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat. That seems like a healthy thing, doesn’t it?
Then why do we have such a hard time leaving abusers? A wife that stays in a marriage even though her body has scars given to her by her husband. A child that stays at the Christmas table with a father that sexually abused her. A friend that betrayed you brutally and yet, you stay in that friendship.
Why?
Because of other fears.
Fears of being alone.
The fear of being rejected.
The fear of retaliation and isolation.
The fear of more injury.
The fear that we are not enough.
The fear of what others think.
These are the fears that are not healthy.
Seeing yourself is the key to your future. UCU!
You have got to find the strength to be intimate with yourself, and ask yourself the hard questions like —
“What do I truly want?”
“Do I really even like them.”
“I know this is bad but this wooing inside me pulling me back is stronger than my willingness to see the truth.”
“Why do I allow myself to be treated like this. I know better, don’t I?”
You will never find freedom and happiness until you find the maturity to look at and valid the truths around you.
I know it was an angel that wrote down and handed me a piece of paper that said, UCU. This is a picture of the actual note he handed me:
Allow God to help you see yourself this week! The holidays are coming. Go through them with grace, maybe solitude, but with peace, joy and love.
Allow his love to pursue you. #UCU
