I have learned from my life and the ...Dear Just Me,<br />I have learned from my life and the lives of others, that bad circumstances and poor parenting usually have two sides, a good one and a bad one.<br /><br />Let me explain: I know a woman whose father always blamed her for her siblings offenses. It was unjust and unfair, and when she grew up, she often let people blame her for things she didn't do and she often blamed herself for things over which she had no control.<br /><br />But, it has also made her more aware of her sins than any of her siblings. She readily admits her faults, while her siblings usually excuse theirs. <br /><br />So her father's mistreatment brought her some difficulties to overcome and some things to be grateful for.<br /><br />I hope that you will find both in your upbringing and find the balance that God wants you to have.<br /><br />And let me encourage you: the most important first step in being the woman God wants you to be is a desire to be that woman. And you have that!!<br /><br />God bless you.<br />Gail Gail @ http://biblelovenotes.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17462629145629813283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538057051911243767.post-12620438785490940242019-12-10T11:22:57.742-05:002019-12-10T11:22:57.742-05:00Sometimes I feel like I am a rocky ground person!!...Sometimes I feel like I am a rocky ground person!! But the desire of my heart is to be so much like Jesus than when people see me, they see him! I keep thinking every morning that, "this is the day I get it all right" but I just don't know! My Daddy was a preacher and I grew up in a very LEGALISTIC home and sometimes I wonder if it hadn't been that way, would I have such a battle inside. I don't blame Daddy because he just taught me what he was taught, but it sure is hard to get past that!! All I know, is, I want to serve Jesus and be the woman He calls me to be. Just wish I knew what that entailed! Thank you so much for your time in doing these devotionals. I do appreciate it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538057051911243767.post-79770926724102958732018-07-31T16:45:17.715-04:002018-07-31T16:45:17.715-04:00I know some rocky ground people.

At first I was disappointed that they had no enduring faith, then I understood it was the soil.... it can change, when the timing is right.Marja Verschoor-Meijershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475263793581289701noreply@blogger.com
