Sometimes we think that God gave us his commands for the wrong reasons. The fact is that God created us in His image. So, if we are to be happy, our lives need to be lived in line with God's character. Otherwise, our actions will be inconsistent with how we are made and they bring pain to us. God, therefore, did NOT give us his commands to condemn us. He gave them to us so that we could avoid pain. He gave them to us because he loved us.
But, some people (even ourselves) look at the commands and us, when we fail to follow them, and misuse the commands to lay condemnation and shame on us. Repentence, means TURNING AROUND AND GOING THE OTHER WAY. Once you have done that, you have left disobedience behind and are, once again, walking in line with the character of God. You are now walking TOWARD GOD. That is why the Bible says, "There is NO condemnation to those that are in Christ." It means exactly what it says. NO! NONE! ZIP! [;)]
Now, here is the sticky part for we poor humans. Memories are actual, physical, molecular structures in our brains. And, as I have written earlier, until we modify these memories by bringing every memory and every thought into captivity, they keep popping up spontaneously... as you are experiencing. Years ago most people thought that it was impossible to nullify painful memories. But, recent discoveries show us that we CAN and that is DIRECTLY in line with what the Bible has always taught. Go back to my earlier post for the link to a set of DVDs that I think would be a tremendous help to you, even though you are visiting a counselor. I doubt that there is anyhing in the DVDs that would negate what your counselor would say to you. And, it definitely would not urge you to get off your medications until your counselor says to. It would, however, greatly enhance your CHRISTIAN life with new knowledge about how to apply the Scriptures. We always known these Scriptures to be true; but, for the first time we have scientific help in applying them.
I'm very proud of you for having the courage to do everything you can to find a solution. Some people just wallow in their pain and I don't see you doing that. [sm=thumbsup.gif]
You are MUCH closer to relief than you actually know. [:)]
