Hangbacks from the Past

Can you see me here? Hovering over your shoulder? No. You can feel me. I'm right here, telling you that you can never make it, pushing you to the ground, crushing any attempt to believe you are worthy of love. You don't know I'm here. You can feel me. You think I am the reality of your worthlessness, but really, I am the Reality of the mistakes in your past. You don't know that. Hold me close, listen to what I whisper through the darkness. You have no worth. No one knows the horrific things you have done; they wouldn't say you can be forgiven if they knew. You don't know how easy it is to find peace. You're just a few words away from the One who can blot out all your past and make you a new creature. The One who has told you He is waiting, longing, praying for your acceptance of the truth. But still you won't believe. You can feel me. I am here. I laugh at your feeble attempts to shake me, you can't do it on your own! Foolish, foolish child. I am here. You can feel me... and I am all you know.

Glad you're mine,
Guilt

The Privilege of Forgiveness

"And their sins... I will remember no more... and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water." Hebrews 10:17, 21, &22

Profound Little Pooh

"When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it." Winnie the Pooh

This quote makes me laugh. Pooh seems to be lamenting the fact that he does not have the gift of clarity, and he feels insecure when he has the courage to say what is on his mind (albeit "full of fluff"), and people don't understand what he is trying to say. I more often than not can see where Pooh is coming from. There are many Thingish Things that I have Thought, but when I say them, they come out distorted. Part of this problem is the probability that I have ADD, and as soon as I Think a Thingish Thing, I am distracted by another Thought, and the original Thing vanishes into thin air, leaving me with a vague feeling of Leftover Thingishness. I then try to recreate it, but somehow it doesn't always work. Sometimes though, the Thing I Thought was so good, I feel the need to share it with others. BIG mistake! It can lead to people laughing and poking fun at my very sincere, wide-eyed statements.
So here is my deduction from Winnie the Wise: when you can only remember the general idea of something, it is probably not a smart idea to blurt it out for other people to look at and criticize as the way you think.
I wonder if Pooh has ADD?
