Dear Angel of God:
Let me first appologize for not responding sooner. I had read your post several days ago, but I felt compelled to pray on your post before responding. I have this way of feeling others pain and when I read your post, I took on your pain. I had to step back and work through it with God before I came back to post.
I come from a history of sexual abuse and I grew up in complete and utter turmoil. There were times that my pain was unbearable that suicide was an attractive thought. I kept going forward because of family. I did not know the Lord back then.
We live in world where God gave us free will and choice. As a result, many have chosen their own will over God's will. Many of these godless people have been abused themselves and grow up filled with hate and anger and with little, if any, positive image of themselves. The image they have is distorted. The hurt and lost, without God, grow up in either self-contempt or outward contempt. The outward contempt creates more victims. You, the others on this forum, and I are victim's of that outward contempt. Godless people are easy prey for Satan's will and evil work. The lost who have fallen prey to Satan become his terroists. Some even use God to fulfill Satan's will.
There are more God-filled people in this world. Praise the Lord. I ask you to seek them out and to seek God for recovery and resoration of your hurting soul.
I have made several blog posts that you may benefit from. Two that I think may give you hope in your quest for healing and peace. One post is titled "The Power of Now." If we are to die to self and grow in the image of God, we cannot look back. The past is filled with hurt and pain, anger, which is born out of thoughts of self. The past is gone and to die to self means we leave the past in the past. The future belongs to God for He is in control. God has given us the gift of "now!" Past and future are an illusion of time in our minds. The only thing that is real is "now."
The second post, I have two, which emphasizes our struggles with image of ourselves. If we are to be born again in God, we must discard our old notion of self-image which is defined by things of this world - defined by fleshly concepts. We must replace our self-image with the image that God made us in - His own image. We need to develop our God-image.
God made us and God makes no mistakes. Everything he does and creates is perfect. You are His creation and you are perfect in His eyes. You are His masterpiece. Believe that for that is truth. You were made in His image. You are beautiful. I ask you to let go of the past and stay present in God in the here and now. Now is where salvation happens and growth of our God spirit grows.
Hanging on to the past and the pain of the past is a choice. I ask you as a sister in christ to let it go right now and move toward healing and restoration. You deserve happiness, peace and love. You can only experience these Godly gifts if you let go of past and future.
You are here right now. You are God's masterpiece. You are beautiful. Don't ever forget that.
As brother's and sisters in christ, we love you unconditionally and pray that you find peace within yourself and learn to love you inside and out - your God image.
Hang in there. We are here for you to offer support, truth, love and caring.
May you find God's peace in your beautiful heart.
God Bless You right now in every aspect of your life,
Kim
