PureTalk | Attachment and the Heart of God
When caregivers consistently respond with love, comfort, and protection, we begin to develop what psychologists call secure attachment. We learn that when we're afraid, someone comes. When we hurt, someone cares. We discover that love is dependable.
Looking Back
If we always look into the past instead of moving forward, we may feel anger, hurt, and bitterness about the life we expected to have but don't. Looking back at the past when God tells us precisely to move on could harden us, just like it did Lot's wife. We might feel that betrayal and bitterness continue to grow if we keep looking back. It hardens us.
