Loving The Wounded Child Within

When we have compassion for the wounded child within instead of condemnation or judgment, change can begin to happen.  From this perspective, the God of our understanding becomes a loving co-creator of our lives.  A Divine Source that helps us to see our goodness and our character assets.  When we see ourselves as God sees us, a perfect creation made in the likeness, image and essence of him or herself, what does not serve us well, will naturally fall away.

As we learn to understand ourselves better, from the perspective of our character assets, we will begin to focus on a life of wellness, health and loving kindness.  When these character traits are what we focus on, they will manifest themselves in our lives.  When we fall into what we once viewed as our “character defects”, we will feel uncomfortable and out of character.

Addiction is a violent disease that destroys the afflicted person and hurts those who love them.  Addiction makes us believe that we are defected human beings that deserve the pain and suffering that the disease brings into our lives.  Addictions show up in many ways, including anger, resentments and self-condemnation.

As we allow the God of our understanding to hold up a mirror in front of us daily, reflecting who we genuinely are, defensive and hurtful behaviors that no longer serve us, will fall away.
