Unfailing Love

Posted on by beautybeyondbones

Confession: It’s less than 30 minutes before this post is supposed to go “live,” and I’m still staring at a blank screen.

After Monday’s post, I’ve been, underwhelmed to say the least, to sit down and pour my heart out in an emotional and spiritually uplifting post.

The response, and rather – the backlash – from the post, brought out, some not-so-nice words, to put it lightly. My faith was questioned. I was told I was cursed by God – and that my singleness, infertility and history with anorexia were all signs of said curse. I was called names that would make a sailor blush. (All of said comments have been removed.)

And to be honest, I’m just not, really, feeling the whole emotional vulnerability thing tonight.

And I get that I put out a piece that garnered a lot of feelings from a lot of people, and I did expect that type of response. And frankly, negative feedback comes with the territory of putting yourself on the internet – I completely understand that and am ready to take a few hits. But I guess I wasn’t really expecting it to get that personal.

But: I’m sorry if the piece was offensive to you. Truly, my sincerest apology. I was seeking to merely start a healthy, respectful dialogue. Nothing more, and if my words hit a place of sensitivity, then please accept my apology.

So tonight, I thought I’d share my favorite excerpt from my book, Bloom: A Journal by BeautyBeyondBones.

“May Your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing…Let me hear of Your unfailing love to me in the morning for I am trusting You.” Ps 143:10

“Your unfailing love” That made me scoff. Unfailing love was for “Becky with the good hair.” It was for the choir singers. The do-gooders. Not me. Not the liar. Not the dirty anorexic. All I could see when I looked in the mirror was failure. How could a God with unfailing love, even consider loving a girl that she, herself, was an utter failure? It seemed out of the realm of possibility.

There’s a term I’ve come to lean on. It started in recovery, and since then, has expanded to other areas of my life: Radical Trust. It’s radical because it just doesn’ make any sense. It’s an extreme move.

God, I’m just going to go for it and trust You. Your love and graciousness is unfathomable, and I cannot comprehend how good You really are, so I’m going to be bold and trust You. Be radical and trust that You are going to help me through this incredibly hard and scary season of my life. Turst that You really will give me firm footing and that You really do love me.

Do you believe in His unfailing love to you? Hearing that, how does it make you feel? Can you trust Him? What could happen if you were to trust Him?

  3. After reading countless posts from your site, I found that you are courageous for sharing yourself and your feelings openly. Your intentions were in the right place and know that you are not going to please everyone who reads your posts. I always get nothing but positivity after reading your topics and there are times when I learn something new or am provoked to look at my life from a different perspective. Stay strong Caralyn and know that I as a reader see that all your writings come from the heart.

  4. Beautiful post, as always. I’m sorry some have been cruel to you, but many more are inspired by your story, as am I. You help me remember who Jesus came for: the brokenhrarted who just need real love and lasting freedom from the heavy chains we all carry.

  5. Everything would happen if we trusted Him, just to answer that question. 🙂 I’m sorry you were attacked for having an opinion. I read last weeks post. I didn’t see anything that I thought would/should/could provoke such anger towards you. Prayers for all of us, and for all of us to love each other like we want to be loved :):)

    Thank you for the excerpt from your book. It is wonderful! Your book is on my Christmas list 😉 Who is excited ME!

    Your testimony in that excerpt has to resonate with almost everyone who reads it. God Bless you 🙂

  6. I’m so sorry to hear about all the negative backlash you received. I wonder if any of those who reacted so harshly and wrote things they’d never say to your face will ever apologize for the way they offended YOU. It goes both ways in this age we live in. And some people just need to grow thicker skin; there are far too many über-sensitive people in society. This is your blog, your opinions. If they don’t like those opinions, they can express as much in a respectful manner. But there are over six billion people in the world, thus there are over six billion opinions on everything from how to squeeze a toothpaste tube to who should be president. You’re not going to please everyone, nor should you. Even Jesus couldn’t do that, and He’s God. 😉

  10. I read a few of those items last night on your blog. The one about needing to atone for your sins by becoming a bride of Christ, well, I almost responded to that, but your reply was fairly light and I figured I would only stir things up. I let it go.

    I did have to read it twice, though. I couldn’t believe anyone would put that to you in writing! I always say you can think whatever you want, but watch what you let out of your head and where you point it!

    Listen, kiddo, I know you’re aware that being in a public forum incurs a certain amount of criticism and abuse. That doesn’t mean you should expect to not be affected by it.

    You know this is true, but let’s say it out loud just to make sure you don’t lose sight of it – a lot of people love you and what you stand for. I know I do! I truly wish I could give you a hug in person, kiss your head, and tell you it’s ok. If it helps, go back to Beauty and the (ED) Beast. I still stand behind every word of it!

    I’m looking forward to the time – whenever it might happen – for Julie and you to meet each other. It’ll be a grand occasion! In the meantime you just keep hanging in there, weather the storm, and continue being the wonderful, God-healed and healing person you are! Love and hugs!

  11. There’s no need to apologize: those who are offended got that way by their own actions. You didn’t offend them: they actively took offense at something you said. Those people go through life looking for reasons to be upset; it’s like a drug for them — you just happened to provide their fix the other night. And like shooting up, it’s their actions that got them high, not yours.

    What defines us isn’t what happens to us; it’s how we react to what happens to us.

  12. I hadn’t read your previous blog post so had to go back and review it for context. Yes, this sort of tragedy pulls strong emotions out of pretty much everyone, and even slightly disagreeing with those folks who believe stronger gun control laws are the answer to all gun violence can get you snapped at.

    I commented about it at my “Robots” blog, which has an international readership, and one gentleman from the UK very politely said that Europeans absolutely don’t understand ‘Murica’s love affair with firearms. Unfortunately, he also, being an atheist, chided another of my readers for mentioning God and suggested that God had no place in a discussion of facts. My friend, a Jewish man living in Israel and one who is highly intelligent and self-expressive, had no problem rebutting the other person’s opinions.

    I’m glad that their conversation ended there. It could have gotten ugly.

    Today, I wrote about how important it is that we are free to disagree with each other openly and publically. This is in contrast to much of what I hear is happening on some university campuses where fear of “hate speech” is resulting in restricting free speech (even when that “hate speech” is merely “I disagree with you” rather than racist, sexist, etc… name calling).

    It’s terrifying to imagine that we may one day live in a world where we are forbidden to express dissenting opinions so that various groups can feel “safe”. It’s not a safe world sadly enough, and it won’t be until we are ruled by the King of Kings. Until then, we all need to behave like little Messiahs (Christs) repairing our little corner of the world as best we can.

  16. Pastor, trust God loves you! God knew you before you were born and you were wonderfully made with God already knowing your purpose. Not one of us has gone through your experience which was both private and personal. God gave you the courage to share your story and to help and inspire others which you are doing now. Those who have cast judgement upon you are like the people with stones in their hands ready to kill that woman when Jesus appeared. With one question, one by one the stones fell to the ground. Only God knows our heart and our intentions. Only God will judge us. Those who have judged you may want to apologize now and drop their stones. Hi to your Mom. I pray for you and your family each day. Have your people contacted Tebows people yet? SEC network. Give him a call! I love you, many here love you but what matters is how much God loves you! You are His annointed child.

  17. I thinks it’s accept that we live in a Post-Modern Age of Relativism. And that affects many of the thought processes people carry. For instance, the ability to perceive a post as inflammatory and to respond as though you are being attacked. And it’s more prevalent in our connectedness with the internet. My prayer for you is to receive the mercy and grace from Jesus, the High Priest who stands as our mediator. For He knows our struggle, having experienced it. (Hebrews 4:14-16). And should you suffer scorn for your convictions, then you walk a path traveled by few. For that same scorn was thrown at Jesus, so you are in good company. (John 15:18-20.)

    Looking forward to know you more through your posts.

  18. BBB,

    #1. Don’t you EVER apologize for what you believe in! If what you believe in is love for yourself and others, and yes that includes the “right” we have as Americans to own guns. We have the right to defend ourselves against the mush noodle brains that get out here and kill others! Let me tell you something. Those who attacked you, if someone was trying to kill them or their family members they would be trying to grab any and every weapon they could to defend themselves. So don’t let them fool you!

    That is what makes this country one of the hardest countries to overtake is because people have weapons in their homes! People do not think about that kind of stuff. This is also one of the things which keeps our government out of our homes, as we have the right to defend our lives and what we own.

    I do not care who reads this, I am telling you now, “I do not apologize and if this offends you, then go to bed offended because I do not care!” Don’t push your beliefs on me because I promise you, you will not so much as move forward an inch with it. If this offends you, then “tolerate me,” because that is the theme of the day!!! You want me to tolerate you, then tolerate me!

    #2. BBB-The people who attacked you are doing nothing but typing on a computer screen, just like I am right now. The beauty of that is, you deleted it all!!!! All a mouth is, is a hole in a face with a tongue and some teeth held in by some cheeks. It chews, it spits, it swallows, and at times it throws it all back up! When it throws it up, it is then flushed down the toilet! So take that vomit and flush it down the toilet and be done with it.

    #3. It is okay not to go with the “flow of society.” It means you think for yourself! It means you do not have to have someone to think for you! What is wrong with that? Not one single, solitary thing!!!!

    #4. Many, many people love you. God loves you. You love us. Don’t let a few rotten apples ruin the whole bunch! That is what would be your mistake!

    #5. As far as you being “cursed.” Do you believe in Jesus? Which the answer is “yes.” There are no more curses. See the Cross kind of took care of all of that, for you. Took care of it for me, too!

    #6. When someone attacks me in my life you know what I say. I quote the Bible in fact Psalms. “I will not eat of your delicacies and your oil will not anoint my head.” It kind of just shuts them up. For one thing they have no clue as to what I am referring to?? They are just kind of left dumb-founded. A blank stare is what I get almost every single time.

    #7. You are beautiful inside and out! I love you! I love your heart! I will always be here to defend you! Love you and God Bless, SR

        Glad it helped! 🙂 One cannot let another destroy the very essence of who one believes that they are. A mouth is just a mouth. Most of the people who attack others with it, could not fight their way out of a wet paper bag! I cannot stand it when someone attacks her, in this manner. I am from Texas and as they say, “A Texas woman is tougher than the toughest football player.” Most of us are. These kind of people just irritate me to death! 🙂 God Bless, SR

  19. Caralyn, your post last week was exactly what I wanted to hear. It sickens me when people use emotionally traumatizing events to manipulate people for the sake of politics. Your post was kind and loving as always, but absolutely called those people who are drawing attention away from the real issue (helping the victims) and towards helping their own agendas. And I love that about your posts: kind and loving, yet confident and honest. Lots of your opinions may not be popular, but you express them anyway, because it’s the right thing to do and absolutely has to be said. I’m so sorry that you were attacked for expressing your feelings. You are supported, and those who attack you are completely missing the point of your blog: acceptance and healing. Thank you for always being honest, real, and inspiring.

    You asked a difficult question, Caralyn. I don’t find God all that loving, at least my instincts don’t. I find him…calculating. Concerned with the plan. I write AGAINST that sort of God all the time on my own blog because I’m preaching to myself. Thanks for drawing that out.

  31. I usually abstain from commenting, but I thought this post warrants one…

    My heart was made heavy after reading how people responded to your last post… To be honest and transparent, I’ll say that after reading it there were a lot of things I didn’t agree with. I’m one of those mainline liberal Protestants you hear about every now and then… And like yourself, my faith in Christ is what centers me.

    And that was the part that resonated with me, the fact that there was a common core with which we could both relate… And that was how our faith in God is what is central to how we navigate the world we live in. I may not agree with everything you do, and I’m assuming that you would not agree with everything that I believe in… But if the Spirit of God is present I believe that civil discourse, guided by our shared faith, can genuinely occur.

    If you are ever looking for that kind of conversation you are always free to reach out.

  33. I believe this post is referring to your post from the other day concerning the horrible tragedy that occurred in Vegas, I am sure that most people that have an opinion about something like that do not really fathom the scope of those events – thankfully. However, the reality is, that events like these always evoke strong emotions and those emotions are not quelled very easily. What happened in Vegas is the prime example of evil run amok. It cannot be explained, it cannot be removed from our society. Although, we should try to prevent it, it cannot be stopped…

    …at least not by human means…

    I do not consider myself a “believer” in the same sense that you might, but what I do know is that evil cannot exist, if there was not a God to call it evil. But although evil exists, it is not because of God, but because of free will – and free will is the only thing that we human beings have dominion.

    And there is no one, absolutely no one, that can honestly explain the individual tragedies we traverse in our individual lives. Your struggle with anorexia, your singleness (Trust me, sometimes that’s a total blessing), or your infertility has nothing to do with God loving you. Being Catholic, you already know that anything to do with human suffering has its roots in Adam & Eve’s original sin, and the Jesus’ saving act on the cross is what relieves your soul of human suffering; reconciliation is for the decisions YOU make…

    Ugh…people’s judgment piss me off and I don’t even consider myself anywhere near holy….ugh!

I was reminded last night that some of the hard things we go through may be considered sharing in the suffering of Christ. 1 Peter 4:12-19 You might want to read a bit more of the chapter than just those.

  45. When I write something and feel that the words have passed through the heart and that express true feelings; which distil images of my memory and things learned; that writing can be meaningful to someone, be useful, and to help you in your circumstances, then I feel a great pleasure, and it is a joy in my mind; when I can do it.

    In these moments there is a spiritual communion between what I feel, what words express, and with all those who can be fed by them; with those that only the words and the Spirit of the Lord may be; and my soul rejoice.

    As a principle, I always ask the Lord for permission, Light, and pertinence to express the good. It is an attitude of faith that emanates and converges towards the Centre which is Jesus the Lord.

    His whole history is alive, and all that He did, does and will do, is out of love, for His Father, and through His Church, His people.

    Knowing this, my faith is strengthened because it trusts, my Hope is animated because He Reigns, my soul is consoled and rests in Him because it finds shelter, like a river that meets the sea.

    Because He has risen and because we believe in a Living God, He encourages me to persist and to stand by His side.

    Knowing that to Him everything is possible, that all Power belongs to Him, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” (Revelation 1:18), and reserves His treasures and gifts to those who are faithful to Him.

    And to all who, in faith, believing, accepting and invoking Him, in Spirit and Truth, will be called to His Way, His Truth and His Life; with the hope of attaining His Kingdom and Eternal Life.

    But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Hebrews 3:13

  49. Awesome stuff and very inspired. I read the other day that faith is closing your eyes and opening your heart. I ask for that faith every day and God never lets me down. ‘For thou art my lamp, Oh Lord: and the Lord will lighten my darkness.’
    Thanks for the great post and God bless and keep you.
