What is a father? A father is someone who loves, guides, supports, protects, and is there for his child. Therefore we can conclude that God is a father who has the best of intentions for you, is driven by love and does not withhold good gifts from you. He is not abusive, he does not manipulate you, nor is He mad at you for your shortcomings or bad choices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">You don\u2019t need to earn His love like an employee. You don\u2019t need to walk on eggshells around Him, or operate in people-pleasing behaviours, as you most likely did with your abusive husband.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">YOU ARE HIS. YOU ARE SAFE.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">We need to learn to operate out of our identity in Him and not try to earn our identity. This is true freedom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Take back your true identity that the enemy stole from you. Reclaim it and stand firm on the promise that God has a good future for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>How to Reclaim Your Identity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">You primarily need to believe God is a good Father. When I finally let this truth marinate my heart, my healing climbed to a new height. It\u2019s ok if it takes time. You most likely have believed lies or religious misconceptions about God for some time. Get to know Him for who He truly is.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Learn what it means to be God\u2019s child and hold on to His promises. The Bible is full of them. Then you can walk and talk out of your sonship. Your identity will root you in who you are.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Continue to work on that mindset. Especially on those days when the enemy will throw your past in your face, or tell you you are damaged and beyond restoration. You don\u2019t have a room to rent in your head for him any longer. He is permanently evicted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>You don\u2019t have a room to rent in your head for him any longer.

A healthy mind and identity influence the choices and roads you take, like a navigation system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">If your GPS system is broken you could find yourself on a familiar bumpy road, with previous coping mechanisms, fears of rejection and abandonment or the fear of entering into another abusive relationship (I was terrified of this!). I\u2019m sure you don\u2019t want to go through that again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Remember Romans 12:2? To recap, it speaks of a transformed mind, focusing on Godly values and ethics, as the precursor of knowing and walking in the purpose God has for you. In other words, your GPS system has been rewired and tuned into God\u2019s frequency.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">In my own walk, I realized I had to get myself out of the trauma cycle and insanity and do things differently. This meant learning my worth, establishing self-confidence, learning and implementing boundaries, understanding what a healthy woman, man and marriage looked like, and intentionally <strong>STOP PEOPLE PLEASING<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">I had to learn how to live a life reliant on God\u2019s love and not in fear. I pleased others and had poor boundaries because I was afraid of rejection and abandonment. This is not in line with how God wants his daughters to live! 2 Timothy 1:7 AMP says, \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><em><strong>\u201cFor God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control].\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">I am still learning how to live in full reliance on God&#8217;s love and provision for me.
