You have exempted yourself from DaddyGod’s love for far too long. You thought because you failed that He was finished with you. You thought that He had turned His Face or favor away from you just because you failed. You wonder where your DaddyGod went or why you don’t feel His Presence like you once did. You thought He couldn’t ever use you… that somehow your mistake or wandering distanced or separated you from your Heavenly DaddyGod.
You felt so… because you thought so.
You felt so… because that’s the story you kept telling yourself…
And here’s the loving truth… many of the stories you’ve been telling yourself (maybe perhaps your whole life) were never born from Love. They were born from old wounds… old voices… old insecurities… old moments where you didn’t feel seen… known… valued… or protected. They were shaped by the mind traps you rehearsed… I’m not good enough… I’m too much… I’m not lovable… I always mess things up… something must be wrong with me. These stories were shaped by the voices of people who didn’t know how to love you well… who didn’t know their own worth, value, and identity in Christ… or didn’t know how to speak life over you… or didn’t know how to reflect the Father of Love’s heart to you. Some of those voices came from people who said they loved you but didn’t speak lovingly to you. Some came from authority figures you trusted. Some came from an earthly father who didn’t know how to show you the tenderness… delight… and steady affection of the Heavenly Father of Love… and without knowing it, your heart assumed God must be like them.
And for those experiences you never should have had to go through… my heart goes out to you. I am so deeply sorry that those moments shaped how you saw yourself and how you saw the Father of Love all this time. It challenged your heart and mind relationally… how to feel close to Him… how to trust He would never leave you… how to believe nothing could ever separate you from His Love. But the truth is… the only thing that ever made you feel separated were these stories… the ones you were told… the ones you believed… the ones you rehearsed… stories that were never the real truth. You just didn’t know any better. So give yourself some grace. Go easy on your heart.
And the more those untrue stories were repeated… by others or by your own heart… the more they felt like truth. But they were never the Father’s truth about you. They were never His story. They were never His voice. They were never His heart. And now His Love is inviting you to let those old stories go and let His Love Word rewrite His Loving Truths upon your heart. They will really change your mind… they will really change your experience… they will really change YOU.
But right this moment… I am here to tell you, Child of Love… don’t beat yourself up. Don’t guilt trip… shame… or condemn yourself for what you didn’t know… for not knowing you were an accomplice to your own pain… for not knowing your Know Nots… or how your mind traps kept you stuck in the muck. You simply didn’t know. That’s why they are called your Know Nots. You and I are forgiven of our Know Nots because Jesus on the cross said, “Father, forgive them, for they KNOW NOT what they do.” We had zero clue how we were an accomplice to our own pain. We just didn’t know. And when we finally DO KNOW, we allow the love and forgiveness of Jesus to wash over us and melt it all into a Love relationship with the Father of Love… and we don’t look back or give ourselves a hard time for what we didn’t know at the time… we just didn’t know.
This is an analogy I came up with that helped my heart and mind when I realized I was an accomplice to my own pain… Think of it like this… if someone asked you to go for a ride with them and you innocently accepted, believing that’s all you were doing… but you didn’t know they were on their way to rob a bank… and you were in the passenger seat… you would be seen as an accomplice even though you were innocent and unaware. You didn’t know. You weren’t trying to do wrong by accepting what they said. You weren’t actively or knowingly doing something harmful. You were simply riding along with the information you had at the time.
And here’s the truth… you should not be penalized, punished, or treated as guilty for something you unknowingly became part of without the full truth. You didn’t have all the facts. You didn’t have the real story. You didn’t know what you were stepping into. And innocence is always restored once the Truth is revealed.
So in a similar way… just because you didn’t know you were an accomplice to your own pain… or doubted the Father of Love’s staying Presence… or questioned His Love because you didn’t know the real truth… don’t penalize and punish yourself with the full weight of all the untrue stories you believed or told yourself. Those stories kept your heart in pain and kept you from experiencing the fullness of the Father’s Love… but you just didn’t know. Now that you DO know, you wouldn’t get in that passenger seat again just like you wouldn’t believe those old stories you used to tell yourself now that you do know the truth. You wouldn’t unknowingly set yourself up as an accomplice to your own pain like that again. So give yourself some grace. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Now that you know the truth, you will make better… healthier… more life giving and love giving choices for yourself. But don’t beat yourself down for having unknowingly been an accomplice to your own pain. The good news is… now that you know the truth, the truth can set you free forever.
And now… now that you know the old stories were never true… this is where the Father of Love begins to write something new… in you. He begins to write His truth upon the tablets of your heart… His Love Story… His True Story… because He is the Truth… the Life… and the Way. He is the Person of the Truth… and His Truth is trustworthy. His Truth is healing. His Truth is freeing. His Truth is the only story your heart was ever meant to believe.
So meditate… rehearse… and play His Loving Truth over and over and over in your mind. Philippians 4:8 invites you to think on things that are pure… praiseworthy… lovely… of good report… virtuous… and true. These are His Love Stories and Love Songs to play over your heart until your heart begins to believe nothing but the truth… until His Truth becomes the loudest voice in your inner being… until His Love becomes the story of your heart that you live inside of.
But what if… just what if… you begin to tell yourself a different story… the TRUE story… HIS STORY… His Love Story… and His Love Word as your only true reality.
Here’s your True Love Story to write upon the tablets of your heart…rehearse them, meditate upon them, play them over and over your heart & mind until they become your beautiful experienced reality in your heart, mind, whole being & life…
