He is still there for me, no matter how I am feeling.
Yes, chicory He is. I am struggling with the "God" concept, maybe because I have been scratching the surface of being an adult child of an alcoholic.
I have been afraid of an angry judgmental god, just like the one from my childhood.
When I was in rehab a priest explained something about the God of his understanding.
His God has already forgiven us, all of us.
Any mistakes we have made, any anger we possess, we confess to Him (take responsibility) and move on.
After the priest told me this (not to worry about God, He forgives), I felt calm and serene. I strive for that moment of peace now, and I forget.
Thank you very much for sharing your story, it reminded me that I have been forgiven, and I can let go.
