Attachment

According to Attachment Theory course trainer, the triune God can be an attachment figure. When I heard that, I was so excited and encouraged. Many of life's experiences are so close to the Judeo-Christian worldview.

I really like Attachment Theory. So far, it appears to be closest to the J-C worldview.

1. It presupposes that there is threat and vulnerability on Earth. --> The world is an imperfect world.
2. It shows that problems arise when attachment figures are not secure or cannot provide the safety in threat and vulnerability --> Relationships have been broken since the fall
3. It shows that secure attachment figures are needed for healing --> Relationships are broken, but we all need close attachment relationships; we are created as relational beings, reflecting the very nature of our Creator being a relational, triune God.
4. It shows that secure attachment figures may not always be perfect ones --> There is a perfect attachment figure who's perfect in love within the Trinity

I'm encouraged to want to trust the triune God. Want to find safety and security in an unchanging and perfect heavenly Father.

"O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.  Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD. You hem me in--behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. " Psalm 139:1-10
