Gaslighting God

"Nothing to see here" is deception and self-deception.

Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight.
— Psalm 51:4a

All sin is ultimately a breach of trust. Gaslighting is so insidious because it's an attempt to build trust on the foundation of a lie. People who want to trust—need to trust—get caught up in the collapse. These wounded people (us) have a heavenly Father who sees and cares. Saying to God, "Nothing to see here," is gross foolishness. The deceiver and the deception stand fully exposed.
