Too often, I feel as if I'm wandering around in the dark, and I don't like that. But, as the Bible says, "He is the light." and "He is the Way." So, when I'm on His way, in His light, everything just falls into place. But, of course, when I get off track, He doesn't abandon me - just like I would never abandon one of my kids.

He will be there to pick me up and forgive me. He is like a compass, I may not be on the exact path always but I'm going in the right direction.... Would I trust myself apart from God? Maybe... but it would feel like stumbling around in the dark looking for the light switch. Kim I trust myself only because I trust God to have my back…even if I screw up royally.

Many of us were raised by parents who didn't have the social and decision-making skills to pass onto us. As I mentioned in a previous post, it is only through therapy, self-reflection, and prayerful-meditation that I've been better at making choices and finding balance. A little less self-medication (OK, a lot less) and a little more self-reflection has really helped. Thanks for the feedback and affirmation!

“The trust has to start with yourself.” Yes. That is something I still need work on.

It's like trusting our intuition. Maybe that's the same thing. I like this idea, about how it’s through trusting and knowing ourselves, we can learn to discern the integrity of others.
