After spending an amazing couple of weeks on a self-healing cruise, Jordan returned home to a bombarding of emotional abuse that is unreal, and it is stealing away the beauty of his healing journey and the strength he gained from it.
If there is one thing I despise, it is fake friends who gaslight and attempt to exercise control. I have no use for people who spend their time emotionally hurting and abusing someone while claiming to care about their wellbeing, and God will not excuse such actions either. There are many of these types of people in this world, which fills me with sorrow at times.
It hurts to see Jordan being hurt and picked apart by the very people he thought he could trust. These actions are not the stuff of Christlike love and friendship. You don't exert efforts to destroy someone who is trying to heal mentally, emotionally, and psychologically. And you definitely DON"T continually strive to take away a person's independence and their ability to think for themselves, supposedly doing it all in GOD'S name. I'm sure it angers Him to see this, though Jordan is not the only person living with this kind of treatment from day to day.
To those of you in Jordan's circle who are subjecting him to this emotional abuse, STOP! Please just STOP! To those who are truly there for him and honestly doing what you can to help him, I say THANK YOU! God in heaven has the perfect view of each and every one of us, inside and out. He sees inside every heart and knows our thoughts and our ways.
This is something we all need to remember.
Jordan, always remember, you are loved by the Father and His Son! In Them is where you place your trust. Man will always be fallible, but God will always be just!
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. ~Matthew 22: 37, 39
Jordan is more than my neighbor.
He is our family.
