Tonight my heart aches. It aches for each person stuck in a vicious violent circle. For each child that fears their parent’s anger and each woman that has been robbed of their purity. For the child that has been in the same spoiled dress all week, and each woman that has been left with nothing except more mouths to feed.
It is absolutely heart breaking to know that someone you love has been taken advantage of. That they have been hurt, abused, raped, lied to, and thrown aside. Abuse of any kind, verbal, physical, emotional, sexually, or through neglect, leaves gaping holes in a soul. Holes that seem as if they will never be able to be filled again.
The worst part of these scars are the lies that are embedded into their brains. For some, it’s a drunken lie that they are failures and unwanted. For some it’s a guilty, dirty feeling that they will never be clean again. Still for others, they think they got what they deserved and it’s the best they can ever expect. So they settle, and they hold it in to pretend it didn’t happen. It will all go away if they don’t discuss it, Right?
WRONG… it will eat away at you. it leaks into other parts of your life until you no longer trust anyone. You begin to get frisky with every boy you meet b/c you know that is all they want from you. the people who love you beat you, so you beat up other kids at school. You are told you are a failure so frequently as a child, that once your grown, you constantly seek other’s approval. You cope in any way that you know how, but at the end of the day, the hole is just as fresh and deep.
IS THERE ANYWAY TO BE MADE WHOLE AGAIN??
Each woman and child that has been hurt, you are sincerely loved by a gracious god. the hole that you have right now in your heart can be filled again. if you turn to god, he WILL accept you as the beautiful creation you were made to be. What has happened to you is not a reflection of you or what you deserve. Unfortunately, the human race is very flawed, and humans hurt one another. This is inevitable. God never said life would be all sunshine and rainbows. Wars, famine, pain has existed since adam and eve. Without pain, we would never grow. God does however, promise to be with us through everything. he is there to guide us and to give us the strength to make it through the storms. Only THEN can we appreciate the sunshine. I know its not the nicest sugar-coated truth, but it is truth. And friends, it is 100% worth it at the end.
