The brokenness that is present in our culture deforms us. We have been taught a certain way of living that somehow cultivated the sins of self-reliance, self-protection, fear and insecurities. Because we’re afraid of being weak or being poor and failing, we put up walls and put on armors to protect ourselves from being hurt—this in turn makes us live with a high level of anxiety.
It doesn’t have to be that way. We can be reformed and refashioned but we need to do that with the Lord and this episode provide some amazing insights and talks about how we go about doing that.

In this love, sons and daughters become spouses and from there we mature to become mothers and fathers. What we want is to live with the Father’s heart — to give unselfish and sacrificial love. It is definitely not easy. But we are invited to become fathers and mothers after the heart of God.

Learning God’s Voice
How can we bring our feelings to the Lord? Once we have a sense of what we are feeling and why we are feeling that way, this would be the next step that we’re invited to do—to turn to Jesus in prayer in great faith and trust, then relate and bring these feelings to him and let him respond to it.
