When your children trigger places you never healed

Joshua 24:15

You can choose whom you will serve, even when your family history is complicated.

When your children trigger places you never healed. There is usually more happening here than the obvious problem. There is a difference between acknowledging reality and surrendering your identity to it. One is wisdom. The other is captivity. Family history explains some things, but it does not get to prophesy your future. Jesus Christ can interrupt what has repeated for generations. Bring the real problem to Jesus Christ, not the polished version. He already knows what is underneath.

What story are you attaching to this situation that Jesus Christ never said about you?

Lord Jesus Christ, I bring You the part I can explain and the part I cannot. Keep me from reacting out of fear, shame, pride, or loneliness. Teach me to move with You. Amen.
