Whether the voice you are hearing is in your head or is another persons voice, if it is speaking to you in a critical or judgmental way, it is the corrosive, lying, soul-killing, life-robbing voice of shame. Don't believe it. Please.
Peace,

Thank you. I need to read this one over and over again. I just have trouble having compassion for the voice inside/outside of me that is critical or judgemental. I have trouble getting compassion for myself and the other person who appears to be in shame themselves, for I want to be able to draw on some compassion for myself or the other that is in shame. I don't want to continue to throw the rocks in the running brook that seem to trip up others or myself. It is hard to put compassion in a savings account.
ReplyDeleteFor a long time before I could deposit for myself I needed others to put compassion in my savings account. It is scary to need others.
