If I truly trust in the Father. How could I possibly suffer as a doormat? What might be perceived as being a doormat to man, may very well be the Father at work in another. My heart shouts “Use me Lord”.
It doesn’t matter what anyone including ourselves perceive. Just what the Lord says, about us. If He says I’m this, I’m this. If He says I’m that. I’m that.
I’ve talked about my childhood hurts for almost 40yrs. I would hear, “let it out” “get it out”. Who get it out, me???? ME fix ME. Not going to happen.
How it happen for me is allowing Jesus in me more, and more. Starting in the morning, reading or listening to God’s Word. Staying in Prayer throughout the day. By putting more of God in me, the junk from my past starts emptying out. I can get this hurt out without talking about it.
Reminds me of the Glass of Water analogy I heard. Take a tall glass of dirt (dirt represents all the junk in your life that you’ve heard, seen, experienced (sin). Put it under a sink start running the water into it (Water represents the Word of God). After a while that dirt (sin) will start to go away. That dirt could also be all the hurt you’ve experienced in your life.
