Child of God
A way to repair a broken childhood is to allow God to re-parent you. As a child, you had no choice but to depend on your parent´s love…and where it was twisted or absent, you suffered accordingly. Yet now you are no longer a child, and can redo your childhood by remembering whose child you truly are. By seeing that you are a child of God—by recognizing the unwavering love and mercy He extends to you every moment of the day—you begin to realign your attitudes toward yourself with His attitudes toward you. You no longer need to model anyone’s neglect of you; you need only model God’s love for you.
