What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
The best advice was given to me by an Indian women that I went too for prayer who was praying for to understand when I was suffering from intense facial pain.
After she prayed, she something that changed my life forever.
She say “you know you have to stop carrying your mother’s sin.”Ezekiel 18:20 tells us, “The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father” -Ezekiel 18:20.
For years I carried my mother’s sin’s because I felt like a sin myself. But, after she said that. I began every day encouraging myself to live with healthy emotional boundaries.
I didn’t blame myself for my mother’s bad choices, I stopped internalizing guilt and shame things that didn’t belong to me.
This changed my mindset to be able to protect my mental, emotional and spiritual health. I began to recognize where my responsibility ended, and let others face the consequences of their actions. And chose not to let others project thief sins and failures unto me.
In this world we are supposed to help people, but we don’t need to bleed for wounds that are not ours.
