You Are Not the Only One

It is the hardest thing for you to believe when you are going through it, but you are not alone. Even now… some twenty, thirty years later, you are still not alone. Someone you work with can relate to the secret pain you carry. Someone you laugh with, eat with, talk to regularly has a story similar to yours that they haven’t shared. The only difference might be that one of you is healed and one of you isn’t.

You have to understand that what happened to you as a child reverberates in your actions and decisions for years and years. And just because you are hyper-vigilant about who you choose to date or to bring around your own children does not mean you have dealt with your abuse. As a survivor, I can tell you I have never ceased to be amazed at how much anger there was inside of me. How much shame. And still so much fear.

 But I want to tell you that God can heal you, mend you, repair you, love you to a place called “whole” in a way where you will know without question that it was Him and Him alone that did it. I pray that you seek Him for healing and seek friends and family for support.

God Bless!
