Heart Jesus Heart Yourself
I was talking with a good friend lately about how damaging religion, specifically Christianity and the church, can be on our selves.
Loving myself was effectively preached out of me.
I was taught and trained to despise myself.
To not lean on my own understanding.
To be suspicious of my own heart.
And to not trust my gut... my feelings.
I was worthy of death then punishment, in that order, and I should just be grateful God hasn't struck me down yet.
But it's interesting to me that loving Jesus... (whether Jesus was real or not is immaterial because it was about him as a human being)... was the beginning of my deliverance away from all that and into a healthy self-love.
Did religion teach you to hate yourself?
Have you healed from that yet?
Do you love yourself now?

This summer, I think everybody should meet new peoples, have new experiences, and get out of their shells. (That last one is easier if you are a crustacean, okay. Just don't forget the sunscreen!)

As I walk through our neighborhood, I pray… and I also pick up the bullet casings. This is what I found as we walked about 3 miles… it doesn’t have to be this way.

We’re following a God we can’t see, for a lifetime we can’t measure, to an eternity we can’t comprehend, because of grace we didn’t earn.
Faith isn’t a bunch of facts.

Forgiveness is not pretending like it didn’t happen or it didn’t hurt. That’s lying. Forgiveness is the decision to release a debt regardless of how you feel.

Not sure who needs to hear this but sadness and celebration can be held together in tension. Easter season is a proclamation of a kingdom that is and is yet to come. Some days we feel the “not yet” more profoundly.
