21 Day Detox Day 7 – Belly Up!

Belly Up is what your goldfish looks like when it dies or your business when it goes bankrupt!

That belly up is not the kind of belly upping we are talking about today!

Today’s belly talk is – your momma’ and two things you learned from her that have the potential to create toxic relationships or build healthy life-giving ones! 

1. She Taught You to Trust

Did you know, that it was your mother who was the primary caregiver in your life – especially the first two years? She was the one who carried you in her womb for nine months – your first home! It was upon her breast that you first learned about relationships, trusting, and bonding.

Psalm 22:9-10
9 Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you even at my mother’s breast. 10 From birth I was cast upon you; from my mother’s womb you have been my God.

2. She Taught You to Love

A mother’s love should be very natural to receive, and natural to impart. It was your mother’s expressed  love that strongly influenced your life. But…

• What if your experience with trust and love went belly up (sort of like that gold-fish)?!
• What if you have more toxic relationships than you do life-giving ones?

God Has a Mother’s Heart

Did you know that God is also like a mother? Now, I am not saying God is female, nor does he belly up to any bar!

But I am saying that in God’s nature, He is both masculine and feminine.

Like a mother, He desires to comfort you with tenderness. He’s compassionate towards you, and nurturing. He will give you His full attention and encourage your growth – body, soul, & spirit!

A Mother’s Prayer

Today I have a very special gift for you. I believe it will express God’s nurturing heart over you. It’s a Mother’s prayer from my mother written especially for you!

But first,

Action #1

Find a quite place to journal.

Ask God to show you your experience with expressed love, and in doing so, He will show you His!

• What took place when you were carried in your mother’s womb?
• Has that had an affect on you or your relationships?
• Has it affected your relationship with God?

He wants to enter into areas of your life, mend toxic relationships and enhance the life-giving ones!

Will you let Him?
