Shower Thoughts

When I was a kid, I was taught certain things that were presented to me as facts:

- Jesus loves the little children: red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his site...
- Love your neighbor
- Don't judge others
- Let the person without sin be the one to cast the first stone

Now as adult, I see all the good christian people acting in ways that are a 180 from all of that.

I talked about this in private last night to someone.

So many people say such wonderful things about me. How come I don't see it?

It took me a loooong time to see value in myself. But when I eventually did, it opened my mind and heart to appreciating the good things in me and sharing them with others.

And I for one want to help you see in yourself what all of us already do hun xx and you'll be an even more amazing Kenzie ❤️

It's amazing how something said without thinking causes so much hurt and so much harm.

For clarification, I'm not the one who was hurt. I did the hurting. I feel awful.

I feel very differently about this. I see it like this: people talk and people get triggered. It is impossible to know what triggerpoints others have. And so it is impossible to never trigger anyone. More important however is that when we think/say: so and so hurt me and did me harm, we point our finger towards the other for hurting us and at the same time we are handing over our power to that person.
The easiest and to my opinion best way to deal with these situations is to take a minute and sit with our feelings, what are they telling you? What do you need? Next we say/think: I am thankful for so and so triggering a feeling in me, because ... The dotdotdot always contains information about how you grow from the situation/pain. For instance... now I know my weakness I can heal myself.

Feeling awful about yourself is just not done, because you never intentionally would hurt another human being.

I agree with Kendra on this one and I want to add that you take yourself - your personal qualities - for granted; it is normal for you to be there for others, lifting up their spirits and supporting them is your first nature. It's selfless, you need not think hard about it because it comes natural to you. And so like Kendra said, you shine your light and others reflect it.
