Distortion (as used here) is not simply wrong behavior, broken rules, or making mistakes.
It’s deeper, quieter — a bending of reality away from its true design.
At the foundation of everything, God created life to operate through love, freedom, trust, and relational harmony.
Reality itself is relational.
When anything departs from that — when fear replaces trust, when control replaces freedom, when self-protection replaces love — distortion enters.
Distortion is not merely external sin; it is internal dissonance with the way life was meant to flow.
It twists how we see God, ourselves, and each other.
It is the root of separation, shame, fear, and survivalism.
Distortion is subtle because it often looks “normal.”
It teaches that life is about earning love, securing worth, managing outcomes, proving yourself — when in truth, life was meant to be received through trust and belonging.
In this work, distortion means living out of harmony with God’s design.
It’s not something God imposes punishment for — it’s something that, left unchecked, fractures us from life itself.
Healing, then, is not about appeasing God’s anger.
It’s about being restored back into the flow of love, trust, and design where life was always meant to flourish.
