As many of you know I recently got baptized and I never really gave myself any permission to be humble enough to ask for directions.. I've read thru the Bible many times in several translations each one leaving me more confused than the last one.
Never seeking to let God heal the wounds. Sure I would leave them at the cross but at the first sign of pain I'd pick them up and decide to protect them myself. Today was the first day of a Men's fraturnity which started at my home church.
13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things.
Somehow I thought it was shameful to be a child in the first place. I wanted to impress people with my knowledge of the Bible or my willingness to help another addict get clean and hopefully stay clean. But on the inside I was Dying.
Why?
I'll tell you why. I was like the dead sea. I was pretending on the outside to have the correct emotional response, while secretly trying to bury and protect the wounds that I carried around, from child hood.
Emotions happen!!! They need to have an outlet. otherwise we are like the dead sea. Emotions come in but theres no place for them to go I'm a greate one for ignoring my scrape to try and fix another ones bruise. But I guess if I got a plank in my eye I gotta take time to remove it, and if the planks to big for me then there's no shame in finding help with the plank removal.
I reckon if I have to learn to tie these spiritual shoelaces I'm gonna have to let go long enough for God to sho me how to tie em right. |
