One in the Same....

Tuesday, April 22, 2008 Edit This 7 Comments »

her abuser is pretty harsh.
she continues to take the criticism; the disses......

the negative comments are thrown at her daily (several times a day).
they take a toll on her and she is exhausted by them.

whenever she thinks she has enough courage to put an end to it, she doesn't because she knows no other way. its what she's used to.

everyday, she experiences someone who has no patience with her.
who is very unforgiving, who extends very little grace when she makes a mistake.
she is oppressed by her abuser and as a result, she is extremely insecure.

although she knows deep down inside she's beautiful and deserves much more, day after day, and week after week she continues to believe her abusers lies, she tolerates her abusers ways.

i encourage you to stand strong my sister. with God's help you can defeat your abuser. don't give up when the going gets rough, rather, get up each day, realize your worth, look in the mirror and face that abuser who is none other than you...


please pray for this woman as she begins her healing process. she is your sister, she is your friend, she is me.

There's nothing worse than self inflicted abuse.....people will treat us and respect us as we treat and respect ourselves. Loving self comes when we grow to love God and realize that we are made in his image and that He loves us flaws and all!

Took me a while, but I've stop abusing myself and started loving myself...Thank God for his love, mercy, and grace........Peace & Blessings
