Trust

There's a line between forgiveness and trust that's blurred.  It's a gray area that allows all kinds of conditions, beliefs, and skullduggery.  You can forgive someone, but can you trust them?  Forgiving means that you break any spiritual hold they had on you, but trust is something the other person must build through their actions. 

Every grievance has two conditions; opportunities for forgiveness and for trust.  If someone forgives you and you do nothing to rebuild the damaged trust then it's probable that they will have to forgive you again.  I guess that's why the Bible tells us to forgive 70 times 7 times!!

Walking away from hurtful or damaging behavior is very tough, so returning to it continues to break trust and a need to seek forgiveness.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices give us the opportunity to return after stumbling and receive understanding.  Trust comes when we stop stumbling!!

Peace

Looking for peace can be a daunting thing, especially when it is hard to hang onto.  The true test of having a peaceful spirit is when you realize that you are able to maintain a peaceful composure in the midst of stressful situations.   It's when you can see what needs to be done in clear vision in uncontrollable situations.  If you're not professionally trained to do that, then you must find it through something called grace.

This type of peace is a God given ability to know that you may be able to help others, but God is ultimately in control.  Giving up control and maintaining a peaceful spirit is a challenge for most people, but not if you have surrendered your control over to God.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices show us that the best way to obtain internal peace is to simply give our control over to Jesus.

Dissolutionment

We hurt because we don't have inner peace.  We cry because we don't feel love.  We avoid the truth because we can't reveal our true self.  We cling to people and things because we don't feel whole.  We avoid because we can no longer trust.  We seek revenge because we continue to do the wrong things.

All of these anomalies are the result of fear, bitterness, & unforgiveness.  It's not unusual for people to hang onto the very hurts they have experienced and wield them as a wall in front of them in order to feel safe.  We build a shanty style world out of broken feelings & dreams, and think we have found peace.  This is the dissolutionment that we create for ourselves and then honestly think it is a God given reality!!

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices give us a clear look at real states of mind and dispel the clouds of dissolutionment, so we can truly heal.

Projection

When we feel that people are rejecting us, we need to look at why we feel that.  People may not like our ideas or perceptions, so that is taken very personally.  We can get angry, defensive, hurt, or even go on the attack...in our mind we are righting a wrong, but no wrong exists.  We are projecting our hurts onto others.

People disagree all the time, but when we cannot accept that, its then taken as rejection.  We need to look at the depth of where this feeling of rejection comes from and find its root.  However.....

.....if our lifestyle is debaucherous, criminal, unethical, unfair, non-commital, uncaring, gross, or even unBiblical, then we can expect far more rejection.  There are far fewer people in this world who can't even handle the thought of a lifestyle like that, let alone have you exhibit it publically.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices allow us to understand that the cause of rejection is problably because of our lifestyle and how we project that onto others unfairly.

Offense

What we view as an offense towards us is really based on how we live our lives.

 When we are living in a state of heightened confusion or are knowingly living a life of sin, we tend to be over the top with our emotions. A single word can throw us into rage, drive us to addiction, or be physically and verbally abusive.  We can't think straight and it appears to us that the world is literally against us, and God is crushing us with His thumb & enjoying it

 

In reality, we simply are not with the Lord!  We haven't released our control to Him, we continue to live a sinful life, or we are harboring resentment of some kind.  If we hang on to hurts, then we assume the responsibility of allll... the little demons that go along with it!!  That becomes overwhelming in itself and that's what breaks us!!

 

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices teach us that we must let go of emotions and situations that involve others, and just give it to Jesus.

Excuses

They give us strength, relief, happiness, & peace!!  Only problem is that it is short term joy and quickly dwindles once the moment is gone.  It's like being intoxicated or getting high, once it wears off all that's left is the pain.  People know what we are doing in our secrecy, but we believe that this excuse is the best one ever, "after all I would believe it if someone told that to me", we tell ourself.

Ocassionally, we forget how many times we've used those same excuses and when we keep repeating them, others chuckle under their breath while they watch the show we are putting on.  In our mind we are masterful actors winning the sympathy of all.  But in their minds we are a pitiful mess, and we by the way, are real bad actors.  Try telling the truth and say, "no I want to use".  (Or whatever your vice is.)  At least others will then have to respect you for being truthful.

Self Help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices show us what we really look like to others.

Compromise

When we know what is right and we compromise that in our minds in order to indulge in something we know is wrong, then we are giving the power that God has given us, away  to the devil.  The wrestling match between our carnal wants and what we know is right should always be the first thought in our mind.  But unfortunately, we tend to think the rest of the world is oblivious to our actions, when in reality someone always see's what we are doing wrong, they just don't confront us with it.

The Bible tells us that God is "all knowing & see's all", yet like an Ostrich with their head in the sand, we tend to feel that if we can't see in the dark, then no-one can.  Only one problem with that thinking. . . . God is light and in Him there is no darkness!!  Doh!!

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices help to acknowledge the lies we tell ourselves and others, and to realize the damage inflicted by our own compromises.
