It is a gentle and kind kindred spirit. I choose to seek the latter. Life is not always fair, but life IS good. Without God I am a mess in and of myself. With Him, I have reason to love and to be loved and that in and of itself brings healing.
Hope deferred makes the heart sick.
I now hope. Self-hatred has no hope, and I want no part of it. I strive to continue to expose it and banish it to die instead of me. Thanks for listening - hope and encouragement to you all. You cannot reap the rewards of the journey unless you are willing to leave the harbor.
