"sticks and stones will break my bones but WORDS will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ...they'll never hurt me."
No, you're not going crazy! At least, I don't think you are. But we hear voices, don't we? Voices that are not at all pleasant. Don't you wish you could get out a gun and shoot those who are screaming, whispering, taunting, at times following you around your day?
Some people spend a lot of time and energy sitting down chatting with a therapist and I am not at all knocking this! For there is great benefit in telling your story and sorting out your life and realizing, perhaps, that a dominating mother may not need to consume your thoughts and life anymore! Or you don't need to live to reverse the words of an angry father's outburst. The Word says that how a person thinks, that is how they live. So true, no? But you may not be feeling like calling a Shrink today and still maybe feeling, taunted, attacked, or even defeated.
Good news, and you may need to be reminded of this. Check this out:
Who dare accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? Will God? No! He is the one who has given us right standing with himself. Who then shall condemn us? Will Christ Jesus? No, for he is the one who died for us and was raised to life for us and is sitting at the place of highest honor next to God pleading for us. Romans 8:33-34
Today, will you be careful who you listen to? The One who stood at the Gate longing for you to return home is not unhappy with you. The Father loves you. The Son, who died, who was raised and is sitting, praying for you... He is still moving on your behalf. Can you hear His voice today? He is calling out your name to the Father. Are you going through some hard things, are you struggling? No one is accusing you. Jesus is praying for you, listen, you might hear Him. What is He saying to you?
