When Scripture Gets Twisted and People Get Hurt
Oct 25, 2023, 08:00 AM
In this episode, we are going to a place together that may feel tough, but I’m putting my big sister hat on to tell you the truth in love because I care.
I’m sorry for any time scripture was used against you and your pain to manipulate you or to cause you to stay in a situation of abuse.
I want you to know this isn’t God. He’s not okay with how you are being treated by His Word. Jesus' goal isn't to punish you through the Word; the Word isn't to condemn you or to keep you a slave to fixing yourself to be approved by God or to only make others happy while you are stuck in a cycle of abuse, feeling like there is no escape.
His Word is meant for encouragement. God cares about your hurt deeply and He desires for you to know that you are loved, capable, and whole in Him.
Rooting for you,
Jessica
