Hand In Hand
This is a follow up from the last post, God’s Plan. The initial reaction when sitting down with Brodie and explaining what God had dealt with me about, living in sin, was not a good one. Because of the hurt that was done to Brodie in the past by his ex-wfie, he heard “leaving” and shut down immediately and was unable to hear or process the rest of what was being said.

It is a destructive form of communication intended to harm the self-concept of the other person and produce negative emotions. It is a pattern of behaviors used intentionally to control or manipulate others or to get revenge. Have you experienced these types of behaviors from someone you love? Hurt from verbal abuse just hits different. Especially, if your love language happens to be Words.
