"What You Don't Know Won't Hurt You"
The old saying, " What you don't know won't hurt you" is such a lie.
What you don't know can unfairly alter your whole life. ...For it's only when you know better that one can truly do better.
Think about the famous quote by Harriet Tubman. Now, just imagine how many slaves she could have freed, if only they knew they were slaves. It all comes back to what you know and what you don't know.
And if we're honest, not knowing is what landed most of us right in the midst of dysfunction, thinking it's normal behavior because by now, we have gotten so use to the way things are, that we don't even think to question it. Surely, this is the way everybody is living, behaving. Surely, there are no real Huxtables or Brady Bunches out there or is there?
The bible says: The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examined him. Proverbs 18:17 Berean Study Bible
Beloved, I know it seems right the way you've been raised to live, because at an early age that's the first thing that was presented to you.... But it's time that theory was cross-examined by Jeremiah...Because in Jere 29:11 CEV
The prophet, Jeremiah says on behalf of God: I will bless you with a future filled with hope --- a future of success, not of suffering.
But that's just it, many of us have come from a background of suffering, a background laced with some form of abuse and/or dysfunction; making it hard to believe anything better even exist.
SOMEBODY: You've been living pay check to pay check, living in debt, being a slave to the lender. Proverbs 22:7.
Not even realizing you are indeed "A 21st Century Slave." A slave that God wants to set free, a slave he wants to bless with a successful future...But again, in the words of Harriet Tubman:
"If only they knew they were slaves." So, don't tell me, what you don't know won't hurt you. Oh, yes it will.
A little food for thought...Hmmm š¤
Until Next Sunday. LPS~Love, Prophetess Stacy
