God's compassion is what we need but we often reject because His compassion feels too unfamiliar compared to what we are used to as part of relational traumas caused by sin in our lives. We face the paradox of what we need feeling dysregulating in some ways when in fact God's compassion enters into the spaces that cause our dysregulation and start to create order and safety for our self-regulation. The work of change while uncomfortable becomes more transformative as we persist with the Holy Spirit in abiding with Jesus.
