An uncomfortable conversation to have, but loving someone with trauma is actually not easy.

The things we say in anger or the comments we make without considering others are things we should handle with great responsibility.

The broken pieces of who we are and our story God can place together intentionally to beautifully reflect His goodness. We are designed to reflect His light into the darkest of this world.

I do believe that a lot of these comments have come from Christians with good intentions, but I think they fail to accurately reflect God’s heart.

So here goes my request to please stop saying:

Tamar’s story is messy.

Acknowledging and harnessing the strategies that the Lord has designed us to need is honoring to the way He has designed us.

Just because your sin caused another person harm does not place you beyond the grace of God.

If you had asked me this summer what was going on in my life I wouldn’t have had a real answer for you.

God does not look on the sin that was done to you indifferently.

You don’t usually consider that spiritual warfare might come in the form of a mouse.
