Spikey Girl

Spikey Girl

By: Susan Deborah Schiller

A Dream Parable

A young woman sat on a chair, the center of attention, in a large gymasium. All manner of healing professionals did their best to heal her heart, but she was no better off than before they started. In fact, all their failures caused her to lose hope.

She was pronounced a lost cause. She was blamed and accused of being a "career victim" and would never change. Warnings were put out for all to stay away from "Spikey Girl" because "hurt people hurt people" and the cautions seemed good and wise.

Indeed, she did seem spikey. She repulsed every effort to help her. When she did speak, she offered only cutting remarks. Slowly everyone backed away. She was left alone.

I approached her, after everyone else had stepped aside. Looking at her in the eye, I said, "I love you." I meant it. She knew it was true.

Her heart opened and I said, "I love you," again and again. She softened as her heart began to thaw, more and more.

Warmly, she said, "Thank you". For  that day onward, Spikey Girl became the woman all the most hurting and downcast of society came to, for love.

She loved the unloveables. She loved the ones who hurt her the most. Some of them were loved back to life. Some of them despised her. She loved them, even as they cast stones to hurt her. She lost her reputation, her job, and her home. They hoped she would be destroyed.

For awhile, she became Spikey Girl again. But she remembered. She began to love herself. She gave herself the same unconditional love, and slowly her heart began to soften and thaw, and once again she reached out to love the unloveables once again.

This time she is more careful, more wise. She only touches the ones her Father has touched. She follows closely by His side.

Living the adventure and choosing love today,

Sue

I can definitely identify with this!  Spikey Girl has been part of my life for a long, long time and I would give her up except that the Father wants her to be loved — just as she is — just as He loves me.  Thank you for sharing.  It is a reminder that no matter what we lose we still have the Father, and as long as we are following Him we are victorious.

I’ve often thought of giving up on Spikey Girl, but now I know what caused her to be that way…. and surely she deserves to be loved 🙂

Thanks so much, Joyce 🙂
