Life after 60 outside the cult
Posted June 14th, 2012 at 09:14 PM by Nancy
Some won't like that I said cult but I could have said asylum
ok, my apologies to the more serious among us.
Anyway, I am finding life to be very peaceful, rewarding, joyful , and surprisingly kind to me. No lightening strikes, fear, intimidation, etc. God is still good, kind, awesome, a source of strength and rest. His Word is still true and still hidden in my heart and slowly untwisting from years of cult manipulation. I find it easier to pray and sense a caring God listening with love instead of the harsh, threatening, far away God from the legalistic church.
I find it increasingly easier to trust God and to trust others, having faith in His love allows me to believe others truly love me and infuses me with love for others, friend and foe.
The spirit of judging, both myself and others, comparing, ranking spiritually on a ridiculous legalistic scale is a thing of the past.
An old children's song says it all " Have faith, hope, and charity, that's the way to live successfully, how do I know the Bible tells me so"
So 60 is good. Out of the cult is good. God is good. My heart is full and I am in love with God, family, friends , life in general and even see the possibility of loving those that despite fully used me, God bless us one and all
