How was I supposed to live a joyful life when I was told how horrible I was?

How was I supposed to navigate life and protect myself from those who wanted to harm me, when I was taught that my most basic instinct to protect myself was inheritintly evil? 


Humans in their base nature can be selfish and evil- but wasn’t that the point of Christ dying? To let us then live a life that is full of joy?  


Self deprecation and hatred is not a sign of holiness.  It is put in place by many to control the masses.  When we live in Christ it is liberty. Liberty to love freely, to have joy, true peace, and so many other things. Knowing that He gave us the ability to make good choices and trust our instincts. 


Never again will I allow another human to dictate my self worth.
