Listen and maybe you can hear God saying, “Who told you you were naked?” Who told you that you have to lie to be loved? Who told you your body is not beautiful and worthy to be loved? Who told you that you must manipulate everything in your life to get what you need? Who told you that God cannot forgive, that you or anyone else is not redeemable? Who told you that what you have done (good or bad) is actually who you are? Who told you that? My money is on the snake. And he’s a damned liar. Always has been.
