Emotional and Verbal Abuse

2024-08-27T02:00:05+00:00

Words that hurt “You are worthless!”... “You will never amount to anything in life!”... “I wish you had never been born!” Words like these in childhood can hurt the heart for the rest of our days. Those wounds deepen in adulthood when we are subjected to the game of "control." Threats like: “If you leave me, I will take it out on our children!” or "I have the keys, you can't go anywhere!"... are both emotionally and verbally violent and abusive and are used to maintain control of a relationship.

Eating Disorder

2022-12-15T02:04:37+00:00

“How do I know if I have a compulsive eating disorder?” Ask yourself this: Do I feel the desire to stop eating or cut out any foods or fats to the degree that the compulsion overwhelms me? Those who struggle with anorexia and bulimia feel enslaved. In their hearts they know that they are not free. “…For he who is defeated by someone is made a slave to him who defeated him.” (2 Peter 2:19) “What is the difference between overeating and bulimia?” The overeater may not mind being fat, [...]

The prejudices

2022-12-13T04:15:55+00:00

The tragedy of prejudice Missionary James E. McEldowney wrote of his meeting with Mahatma Gandhi in Sevagram, India, a few years before he was assassinated: “We sat with him on the floor of his little dwelling. We feel humbled in the presence of such a great man. We asked him many questions regarding the future of India and as he answered us we could see that he had many plans for his country. Then we were surprised when he said, “I have great respect for Christianity. I often read the [...]

Loneliness

2024-08-27T11:23:11+00:00

A prayer in the midst of loneliness After collecting the ribbons and crumpled Christmas wrapping paper, the young mother took the garbage out to the back alley. That Christmas morning was going on as usual, when she was interrupted by the cries of her three young children saying, "Hurry up mom, we have to be at dad's by ten o'clock!" When they heard the horn of the car, the three of them ran out and the scene of the gifts was repeated once more, this time with their father, his [...]

The Critic

2022-12-13T03:22:49+00:00

The lacerating effects of criticism Sometimes those who live near you take on the role of “heaven's sandpaper”. They are the experts at finding bugs and errors no matter how small. They focus all their attention on them. The result of such a harmful attitude is anything but helpful, and does not improve the person. Rather, hurtful words lacerate and hurt, affect self-esteem, and emotionally drain us. We are all accountable to God for the way we use words. Especially those that hurt others. The excess of critical words does [...]

The Adoption

2022-12-13T03:08:21+00:00

A grafted branch can produce a lot of fruit According to God's plan, a child can become a much-loved member of the family through adoption. In this way, a small branch is added to the family tree. That child is "grafted" into the family, but that new branch should not be considered inferior, because a grafted branch can have strength and produce as much fruit as any other branch of the family. A grafted tree can bear strength and fruit like any other family tree, and sometimes even more. All [...]

Dysfunctional Family

2022-12-13T03:01:41+00:00

Deep transformation “It is not easy to recover from the patterns acquired in a dysfunctional family. A transformation is required at the deepest level... But God promises us to actively intervene in that transformation.” —Dale and Juanita Ryan “And the Lord passed by before him and proclaimed, The Lord! Jehovah! strong, merciful and pious; slow to anger, and great in mercy and truth; that he keeps mercy for thousands, that he pardons iniquity, rebellion, and sin, and that he will by no means hold the wicked innocent; that he visits [...]

Rejection

2024-08-27T11:33:47+00:00

The pain of rejection Nothing hurts the heart more than rejection. There is no more penetrating wound than being neglected by a loved one. Not even death breaks the heart as deeply as feeling set apart and abandoned. It's devastating when someone close leaves. Rejection affects the image we have of ourselves, undermines our confidence and makes hope vanish. And while all this happens, the memories of the loved one remain in all corners of the mind. They come back to memory again and again, sometimes in the form of [...]

Financial Freedom

2024-01-24T20:15:16+00:00

To freedom through contentment Are you struggling with money management? Do you never seem to have enough for your expenses? Perhaps you secretly envy the riches and possessions of others. It doesn't matter how much money you have. If you don't recognize that what you have is not yours but God's, your finances will always cause you discontent. Our heavenly Father owns all things, and yet we worry too much because we don't have enough. We manipulate others to get more… and then we worry because we fear losing what [...]
