This is where things became dangerous for me.

I began interpreting warning signs as spiritual problems:

- fear became lack of trust


- anger became unforgiveness


- the desire to leave became temptation


I prayed instead of protecting myself. I explained instead of discerning. I endured instead of evaluating fruit.

Slowly, responsibility shifted.

Not responsibility for their behaviour — 
but responsibility for how long it continued.

I asked myself:

- "Am I loving enough?”


- “Am I responding correctly?”


- “Am I giving God room to work?”


This is the moment faith stopped guiding me 
and started silencing me.

God does not require us to mistrust reality in order to trust Him.
