Every human being God creates in every maternal womb is born with instincts to trust their adult parents who nurture them from birth.
Each human heart was created to love and be loved. Each human heart natural trusts until it is taught not to.
A persons thinking is developed as they grow and experience how the adults in their lives act and speak not just to them but also in front of them.
But what happens to a child who witnesses too many contradictions in their parents life styles?
Both of my parent's words and actions were different if they were out and about with either me alone, out with me and my brothers, or at home....and even far more different when only one of my parents and I were home alone!
Their behavior, attitude, and their morals changed every time the social dynamic changed.
But all people were created by God for God: To love and to be loved...To live honorably...
To say what we mean and mean what they say!
To speak honestly in every situation and way.
To not only speak and seek truth but to hunger for truth & righteousness for truth, love, mercy and righteousness is God Himself
To seek God's Holy Face with one's tender and personal embrace is the height of life itself.
Living any other way is living a lie and always brings misery and never happiness.
It is the opposite of what my father believes, and possibly your father believes too...
It is not in denying the truth of past poor behavior that makes a shameful truth go away...
It is in confessing or sins, confessing our truth within sacramental reconciliation and receiving absolution that one is washed clean by HIS Blood and one can begin living righteously for real.
When anyone goes through life trying to bury his unconfessed past, he keeps himself and those he loves in bondage and blocks himself, his wife, and those he loves from receiving the peace which surpasses all understanding...
The life he and they were created to live.
Sadly not every child has the ability or the opportunity to not only separate their father or mother's negative attributes from whatever positive ones they may have.
Not all children have the opportunity to move onward soon enough that they can shake off and not take with them a father's harshness or a mother's jealousy.
I have yet to understand how a mother forms jealousy of her daughter, but it does happen.
I have witnessed jealousy in my mother & in her mother my grandmother who is now deceased.
I have witnessed jealousy where there should have been love, affection and peace.
It is sad because my mother and hers before have wanted what my husband and I have but they never have had... A loving, joyous, sacrificial marriage... A happy heart that rarely gets over turned.
Sad that all can have what we have but refuse to do what is required to have it.
They will not cut off and away what keeps their hearts in turmoil and bitter...
They carry their own sins within their self-righteousness...
Not laying them at the feet of HIS Cross where there is not only forgiveness, mercy, and healing to move on...and doing so they would receive that which they have lost and yearn for...
The return of their own innocence.
