A Jewel: Is incest a cult?
Merriam-Webster defines cult as a great devotion to a person or idea; usually a small group of people characterized by such devotion. Synonyms for cult are words like audience, followership or discipleship. Sounds just like the family I was raised in and the husband I was married to that my kids grew up with.
A great devotion to a person — YEP! The abuser(s) leads the family (small group) with great discipleship. So much so that after being raped by these people, the family stays devoted to them.
Does this seem like a system a loving God would be any part of?
Gem: From Wild at Heart daily reading, “First, let’s remove the shock and shame of those moments when hard-pressed you suddenly rages, binges, goes faithless, or simply shows up as a very unappealing version of you.
Salvation is a process, not an event.
Metaphorical Gunpowder: I am unconditionally loved. I am not alone. I walk with the Creator of the Universe and he calls me his friend, his child — the one that he loves. Any other identity of myself I am not going to listen to.
Please comment below by leaving your jewel, a gem or something you keep yourself free from with metaphorical gunpowder.
All love!
