For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. – Jeremiah 29:11
The realizations keep coming and coming. I am finally breaking through the walls that have kept me isolated for all of my life – the walls I began to construct when I first began to believe that I was unworthy and undeserving of love. I’m finally making friends with the person that I’ve been waiting all of my life to meet – myself. Guess what? She’s not the monster I had believed her to be.
I have been very misguided at times and have done many terrible things, but I am not as worthless as I have led myself to believe. All I know is that the child inside of me has been trapped for years and has been crying miserably for love and nurturing. I realize now that by isolating her, I never intended to hurt her – only to protect her from a world that seemed so unkind.
Although this is an ending in a way – having finally gotten even just a slight glimpse of what I have been searching for forever, this is also just the beginning. The healing is occurring miraculously. After the healing, my work begins. Step by step by step, God will reveal His plan.
Paige, you can come out, honey. Nobody is going to hurt you for I will protect you and care for you. You have my permission to be happy.
