Maybe it was an incident of public shaming as a child, "forced faith" as a teen, or a recent experience with hurtful gossip. Whatever the reason, feeling church isn't "safe" doesn't change the fact that God wants to be involved in our lives! He can help us leave our hurts and not our churches. Even when the effects of spiritual mistreatment have remained with us for a long time, and we feel like we are never enough in the eyes of other church members or God, our Savior Jesus Christ can bring light into places where it does not exist. He then not only heals our hurts, He helps us not perpetuate new ones.
