Let me insert a disclaimer to avoid assumption of the reader. I am not still hurting do to the listed choices of others. I am merely passing on what I have experienced to those that may be experiencing the same or similar circumstances. Take what I have learned and allow it to heal you. Let the truth of the matters in your life be healed by the truth of the Word of God. Let the reflection of one’s prior pain penetrate your life and open up to the beginnings of healing.
Concerning the six assorted siblings 3 categories have developed. The first category is the one I find most distant and odd. The members of this group are the two children my birth father fathered post covenant breakage with my mother. Somewhere out there beneath the clear blue sky two people related to me by blood and I never knew them. Did I miss out? Was I wronged because I wasn’t allowed interaction with them? Could this segregation be fruit of the negative due to the smashing of covenant? I have wondered if they wonder. I have probably wondered what they wonder, but maybe not. I suppose one will never know. My birth father has passed and most assuredly any and all potential concerning the two siblings never met will never be mustered. Category one……shelved, labeled, considered. It doesn’t hurt although before it did a bit. Interesting though just how much it could have impacted me more, daily, for the good or the bad. Seemingly neutral it is gone but yet there. Never open a rancid jar. Simply give it to those that are equipped to discard. Thank You Jesus!!
Concerning the six assorted siblings 3 categories have developed. The next category is the one I find secondarily hurtful previously. The members of this group are the two children my step father fathered post covenant breakage with my mother. A very present influence to us these two children messed up from yet another instance of covenant breakage were thrust into relationship with those they had not previously known. Every single bit of their desire for new sibling relationship just as spontaneous as ours. Their baggage spilled out into our baggage and it wasn’t for years that one of us began to sort. The one is quite sure that he is the only one that has successfully unpacked. Wonderment is not in the list of storage places for experience concerning this category. Some undoing needs to be done for two. Praise Jesus that “better than before” has been supplied for one. What a beginning.
Concerning the six assorted siblings 3 categories have developed. The next category is the one I find I can most impact and am dealing with in the now. The members of this group are the two children my mother fathered post covenant breakage with my birth father. These two siblings and their whole life health are of the utmost priority. Priority is a funny thing. Priority only becomes priority if one should choose to bring it up the list of items to be sorted and dealt with. This category has brought an ongoing presence. This is the category that strings to my heart. It is hard to not see the effects of the fruits of the discarding of covenant in these siblings. Category two……has to be dealt with and is the most active. The unique thing is the continual harvest that is unwanted. There are prayers for a failure of harvest. One covenant breaker, one impacted by the covenant broken now in agreement for a destruction of crop and restoration for the two that have not realized that there are other harvests.
Inventory of all categories done, waste disposed of properly, and injuries healed, a tilling of the soils readied.
A new covenant decree, embraced. Thank God for outlining “The Way”!!!!
