Are you my Mother?
Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
I will not forget you!
IsAiah 49: 15
There is no commentary on this verse in my bible in the side notes. Why? Does it speak for itself or is a mother’s wound not as strong as the wound given by a father?
I don’t like talking about mother wounds very much. You know why? It would give my mother pleasure to know I hurt.
“Not true!” a friend of mine once said to me.
“No, lovey, it is true.”
It’s hard for me to speak about being unloved by both my father and mother. It’s better to have had one that gave a little to you, right? The beauty of having no earthy parents beside me is that I cling to a great big God that takes good care of me.
He is my steady. He is my confidant. He is my companion and I love Him.
Many are saying of me, “God will not deliver him.”
But you are a shield around me, O Lord;
you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.
King David ~ psalms 3:2–3
Abusers believe they win. By the strength of their mouths and the currency of their lies, they knock out most people who come in and look at our lives closely. However, this just doesn’t last IF you keep steady to your truth.
Hang in there! God is not finished with our stories YET!
