I hope you dont' mind me saying more on this prayer post.
It is helpful for me to write, for I feel moved in The Spirit when I do.
(thanks for listening / or you can scan down further to another post

).
Picture this..
what if you were a child, & you had a mother &/or father, that would dote on you, they would come over & cuddle you & love on you, & just thought you were the best thing there is this side of the planet.
& you couldn't get away from them, you giggle, & laugh inside because they make you laugh & feel safe, loved. Couldn't be better..
Maybe think of this. That God Is Like This, JESUS, this is how HE LOVES us, that all the love we can imagine, that is who HE IS To us.
EACH OF US that are called to CHRIST, HE LOVES us up, we can't get away from HIS LOVE. Of course we are children, we are innocents, & that love heals us.
Well, that is lovely if we are fortunate to have a parent that loves us this much or relative or whatever the situation, but that is not always the case & even if it were, we grow up, so then what?
How am I ever THAT Special again.
This is how I believe JESUS LOVES.
Of course there are rules, but when we have a relative that loves is so much, how could we really do wrong, meaning, we WANT to do well because we are loved so intensely, why do what is wrong?
We are learning as we are in CHRIST, it is a walk, so we learn to walk with more surefootedness, & the relative, again just thinks this is awesome.
My point is this.
We all have our weaknesses, & our strengths. It is in letting go of, our weaknesses, because we don't have to use the crutches anymore when JESUS Is There Loving us, helping us.
Whether that is alcohol, or avoiding that which we don't want to do,
trying harder, or just setting our goals to a higher level as we have achieved something & want to try something new. It's about pleasing GOD, Knowing He Is there, we are never alone,
we are always safe, ALWAYS.
When we hurt someone or someone hurts us, isn't because we are hurt?
Then we lash out or hurt ourselves (not do what we should do), because of.
When we picture ourselves, always nurtured, always safe, knowing that this is the way it is with JESUS, then, "who could be against us?"
Unless, "you become like children, you cannot enter The Kingdom,"
that means accepting Christ's Love, being, ok, with that.
We don't have to worry anymore about displeasing this person or a parent that is always disappointed with us, or a spouse, that maybe we could never please or they leave, or that they were not happy themselves so they hurt us. But now we know that it's ok,
we can see that they don't have that love & we pray they will,
feel just as safe as we do, so they can never feel afraid, or hurt, or bad, again. We can love because we are safe. GOD IS LOVE.
So, we put down the bottle, crawl out from under the blanky,
take our thumb out of our mouths, & go out into the world.
We are safe, we are loved, GOD IS LOVE.
