Did your parents accept you on surficial criteria and also on school or athletic performance? Do you find that you treat those closest to you in the same manner? You were disempowered and it is so ingrained that you think you have a right to determine a person's worth based on daily shifting checklists of performance. This is how you empower yourself. It keeps you safe. You are the restaurant manager but you need to pay your employees to endure your personal emotional embattlement with a distant parent's approval. You are worried that your employee's appearance or behaviour will impact upon your own sense of acceptance. It is just that you really only have children and no employees and they laugh at your behaviour which is really a muffled sense of self-rejection. It's really cool watching you torment yourself and abuse the members of your Toastmaster's Club for using a North Atlantic phraseology instead of a MidWest phraseology but God created the midwest for a reason. They also respect people in the MidWest who are modest enough to buy a used barbecue every now and again and used garden tools. That is why you have FleaMarkets where you can buy bootleg items and also garage sales for the purchase of used gear. Your favourite children are called Tags, Clothing and New and, no doubt, you have total control over them and can accept or reject them as you like. You do not have to keep them. At least the name on them makes you feel accepted. It's probably a Jewish, Italian, Spanish or English name. Look for Mandingo(TM) clothing coming soon. Now, if you want to know if somebody knows all about your pain and how it might make you act, rest assured. God knows so read Proverbs 2,5,6,7,9 and 11. You want to be bitter and have people hate you.So celebrate your success.
Your father hates you and he told you in High School. His only concern is that you may, at any time, add to his existing shame. This shame is that which comes from a lack of forgiveness. He was rejected by his parents but never forgave them They also made him sterile for not playing any sports. Now take your position as Christ's joint heir. You are a child of God. Read Romans 8 and I promise you that someone will give you a TOUCH at church and rub against you in the pew; by accident of course. They may just be white and may accept you in the same way as you felt accepted in High School in spite of your Audi or the lack thereof. Up to now, your identity was nothing more than a colour scheme. You are a child of God though. You are a luminous being if you believe it. God has no colour except that which approximates sunlight and there is a lot of that in Africa where all of this evident civilisation began although Cain clearly had covetous children and that is why we need ten commandments; Ok?
