![]() Instead, give me a trusting heart that is open to receive Your Fatherly love for me and motivated to prioritize our relationship today. May my view of You no longer be defined by negative patterns from my childhood. Thank You for not rejecting me, but instead calling me to come to You. Prayer: "Lord, help me to realize that I am Your beloved child. Reflection: What’s your view of God? Is He indifferent toward you? Perhaps He is even hostile? Or do you believe that God, who is full of compassion, wants you to come to Him? This new kind of childhood, spiritual childhood, is an exciting opportunity for us to develop a proper view of God as the loving, compassionate Father that He is. God sees us as His children! We always want what we think we deserve, yet the Father’s shocking love is unhindered by our foolishness, failures, and insecurities. His words contain an important fact about the heart of God toward us. This is why Jesus’ statement about children in Mark 10 is so profound: Let the children come to Me. We bend, twist, and conform to what others are saying about us, naively learning how to survive. What parts of me do I need to hide in order to belong?Īs children, we determine the answers to these questions before we can even critically think about them. Without realizing it, we begin asking questions like: Rejection, shame, and dysfunction are passed on to us by our earliest influencers, not only by what they say but by how they live. Song lyrics, product slogans, and even new languages are easier to pick up as children. The medical term, brain plasticity, is a fancy way of saying that- like a fresh pack of Play-Doh, our brains are soft and pliable in childhood. Who we are today was most profoundly determined in the first decade of life. Experts agree that our experiences in childhood define us more than any other stage of life. Something similar happens to the human brain as we age. Part 3 (chapters 12-14) covers the new exodus accomplished by Jesus the Messiah His death, burial, resurrection and ascension to His Fathers right hand. Over time and exposed to air, this once soft lump of dough with so many possibilities becomes hard, cracked, and a lot less adaptable. Fushimi is both sleepy and grumpy and has no idea why he was just handed food, Kamo is very serious about the whole thing but then he gives Fushimi like a fatherly hand on the shoulder and lets him know that Kamo is here for him if he wishes to talk.Do you remember being a kid and opening that cute, little Play-Doh container with the colorful lid? The difference between a fresh pack of Play-Doh and the crusty, old stuff gets real when you’re trying to mold something out of it. Kamo decides from this point on he will do his best to show Fushimi-san what a 'good' father is like, like imagine the very next day he shows up at the door to Fushimi's room bright and early with a healthy breakfast. Kamo can't stop himself from feeling this burst of righteous fatherly fury, like as someone who doesn't get to see his own child but wants to lavish affection on them anyway the idea that a father could only mock and tease their child is very upsetting to him. Kamo's surprised to realize that this is actually Fushimi's mother and then he gets to overhear this whole talk about how Fushimi was always left on his own and various mentions of what a piece of trash Fushimi's dad was. As they're talking it happens that Kamo was sent up to check on the progress of the computer system recovery and he overhears everything, the squad was probably already gossiping about the possibility of Kisa and Fushimi being related (since they have the same family name, but then neither one seemed to acknowledge the other when they met). Kisa isn't exactly thrilled about it either but she's very mater of fact, she just wants her company back online and if Saruhiko is the only one who can do it very well, she just treats him in this very cold professional manner as if he's no different than a stranger being brought in to fix her computers.Īt some point while they're working they start muttering back and forth to each other about past things including Niki. Naturally he's not happy when he realizes exactly whose company this is, and even less pleased when he has to actually interact with Kisa in order to fix the whole mess of the company's systems. ![]() Kisa's company gets attacked by a Strain with hacker powers, the squad is sent in to capture the Strain but Fushimi has to accompany in order to fix the damage the Strain did to the computer systems. Like imagine this is one of those situations where Scepter 4 ends up crossing paths with Kisa or something and Kamo overhears them talking about Niki. Deciding that what Fushimi really needs is a good dad and putting all his untapped Dad energy into it (wait, would this put him at odds with his King though).
