Some Serious Thoughts.

I walked as they talked and they explained to me some melodrama that you had created in your head about me and you.

I am an innocent by-stander now, holding no grudges and, with God's help, I don't go back to the site of the wreck like I used to.

I realize now your numerous emotional troubles are not because of me. I am relieved to have been brought to that realization. What a load off my mind.

At times, I have worried about your life. But I know that I alone can do nothing for you. It's a good awakening.

I used to struggle under the assumptions that I could somehow change to make you happy and love me, but I now have been given peace about it....about just being me.

I used to struggle with the muzzle that you put upon my head years ago, the muzzle that "kept me quiet". The muzzle that you thought would keep me close to you actually tore us apart.

That has rotted away now, it is no longer there.

I am a different person now.

I won't change my thoughts that are based in God's word.

I will change how I interact with you.

I will be more peaceful.

I won't change what God says to make it more appealing to you, or anyone else. I don't hold that power. Only God does, and He doesn't mind making us feel uncomfortable with what His word says.

Don't let my quietness threaten you.

I'm not who I was. I'm a new creation.....

Luke 12:53
³⁴"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. ³⁵ For I have come to turn 'a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law~~ ³⁶a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.'
