Grace Abounds: Hope and Healing From Sexual Abuseনমুনা

Has a traumatic past left you hurting? You might hurt in ways that are very difficult to describe at times, and it may often leave you feeling broken, angry, undeserving, or shameful. However, God promises a bright and abundant future despite your past. You can find hope in God's presence and the Father's unconditional love. God wants to restore the ability to love yourself again. He is waiting to guide you toward freedom from your pain. Take a step of faith and begin this journey toward healing with a Father who never disappoints.

When the pain of recollection convinces you to deny its toxicity and forestall recovery, you must remember that God has more for your life. He has the strength to guide you through the darkest places into the safety of His arms. Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals, wants to help you fulfill your unique purpose with peace, authority, and freedom!

No, healing will not be an easy journey; there will be tears and frustrations. Fears will surface. Yet, take heart in knowing you are not alone in this battle for your freedom. The Bible says in Colossians 1:13, “God rescued us from dead-end alleys and dark dungeons. He’s set us up in the kingdom of the Son he loves so much.” You already have victory in Christ, so walk towards that outstanding truth when times get tough along your healing journey.

In the coming devotionals, we will explore scripture for insight into restoration through Jesus on topics such as identity, boundaries, shame, forgiveness, spiritual battles, healing, purity, and fulfillment.
