If we know and trust deep down who we truly are we find we can walk in this world with greater confidence and sense of safety   We are able to conduct ourselves in a such a manner that we are not thrown off so easily by other’s responses to us because we have firm bearing from which we are present. As an incest survivor I had constructed a bearing based on a lot of assumptions about myself and the world that were not true outside the circumstances of my experience.  It all had to fall out from underneath me so I could begin to seek out a true solid bearing on which to live.  In my relationship with God I find that solidity and safety I always longed for.  I began to learn what true safety is not a manufactured reality that provided a twisted sense of safety through control and withholding.  On our daily dates I get the opportunity to reaffirm my relationship with God and with the truth of who I am.  God stands firm in the trust and faith of the truth of who I am and invites me to do the same.  With daily practice I am a witness to God’s belief in the true bearing upon which to approach my day.
