Fore me, just b/c difficult things have happened in my life, I struggle with trusting God to protect me and not let things happen or hurt me again. He doesn't promise a pain-free life, He promises to be there when we go through it. That's a key message I received from Janette Oke's "Love Comes Softly". But b/c of those painful things, I tend to feel like God doesn't love me as much as He loves others. Or I think, yeah, He'll do that for you and you and you, but not me. I know better, but I think it is a stronghold on my thinking that I wrestle with on a daily basis to overcome. I do think it gets better with age and maturity.Jennifer Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360330085131177132noreply@blogger.com
