Oh wow… That was good… like- read two or three more times so it’s thoroughly ingrained in my mind- good. You pinpointed the very thoughts behind “bracing for impact” and you’re so right. For me, there’s this additional error in my thinking- that I should expect and accept all consequences that continue to play out from prior willfulness or disobedience that took place before surrender. That particularly nasty bit of thinking is insidious and relentless. It remains undetected until the truth is put right in front of my eyes. Reading this was like being jolted out of a trance. Once again I see the enemy’s machinations to distort two essential truths- God is good and He is FOR us, not against us. 🤍 I really loved this post!
