Do something for me.
Sit up straight, take a deep breathe, take your dominate palm, and tap your chest. Notice what you feel. Strength. Protection. Control.
Now take your non-dominate palm and do the same action. Notice what you feel. It’s different! Comfort. Safety. Softness.
You just experienced the internal imprint of the paternal and maternal self, embedded in all of us by a perfect Creator. It’s not new-age garbage. It’s all needed in a balanced spirit.
God designed you this way, and he wants to fill the gaps in your life where you’re in need. If you did this exercise and know what to ask for, talk to Him today. He’s listening, willing, and ready.
