God is so Good

I feel so blessed. And taken care of. I was reading comments I made about four years ago to someone who helped me immensely – and I began to go down the shame cycle. “I’m not worthy of happiness.” “I’m a bad person.” “I don’t deserve to be loved.” STOP! Then I remember- “Injured people…
