You know we have had our own journey with some similar issues/experiences. I think I’ve landed (but life isn’t quite as simplistic as just landing and parking, is it?), that while it is confounding to me that God sent His son for us, and Jesus chose His bride and it’s made up of wildly broken people, for the most part – those people (including me) are just muddling through all of this complicated life. I’ve changed. They’ve changed. Sometimes we don’t agree anymore, and sometimes we still find common ground. But what I’ve chosen to hang onto is that while people are muddling and changing (sometimes in their own quiet way), they make mistakes – sometimes hurtful, intentional and unintentional, mistakes. But God hasn’t changed. He still loves me. He still loves my children more than I ever could. He still has the best for all of us. He still gave us Jesus. And somehow, when the world doesn’t make sense and I feel betrayed by the messages of the Bride, I still know that God is constant and unchanging. He still gives me grace abundantly, so I can give it abundantly. And that brings me peace in my soul and in my relationships. I can’t let go of that. I feel my very life depends on it. And it gives me a peace I don’t understand, but embrace anyway, because I must for my own survival.

Bringing the true voice of wisdom, compassion and love. Much like Jesus, not religion. 💞
