Space to Breathe, Room to Grow

Abuse is not what you might think it is. Beyond broken bones, blood, battering...it's often hidden from others and leaves a woman more confused than bruised. 1 in 4 women are experiencing emotionally destructive marriages, and might not realize that's what is wrong. Emotional, psychological, intellectual abuse (and others) can be subtle and very confusing.

At the centre of all abuse is control and power.
This is not how marriage is meant to serve both partners.

Not to be taken lightly ~
Galatians 6:7

The word 'devil' means slanderer. I've heard this twice recently, in different sermons. It resonates, as do other descriptions: accuser, deceiver, adversary, father of lies. He twists truth, causing us to doubt the goodness of God and others. It's not just what the devil is; it's what he does.

But take heart.

"While deception clouds reality, it cannot erase truth. God’s light is always brighter than the darkest lie." ~ Shaneen Megji

Something to think about...

This phrase came up in a webinar yesterday and it's stuck in my head. Kindness was defined as speaking honestly about how we experience each other, coming from a place of genuine care & concern. Niceness is pleasant & agreeable yet can be more self-serving.

This makes me think of the difference between peacemakers and peacekeepers. A peacemaker will pursue resolution, even if it gets uncomfortable. A peacekeeper will maintain harmony by avoiding conflict. Yet Jesus said blessed are the peacemakers...

Things that make me go hmmm...
What do you think?
