Life Is Worth Living

As a sexual abuse survivor, you may be asking yourself, can I really move past just surviving and have a life worth living? Yes you can. Maybe you're already beginning to realize that there is more to life than what happened yesterday. As a sexual abuse survivor, I know what it feels like to feel empty. I know what it feels like to have a deep need for love and acceptance.

You may have heard stories of sex abuse survivors whose lives have been changed. Maybe you even long to be like them. You want to move beyond just coping with the past - you want to be changed! You long for a life of victory. That longing you feel is a hole. As a sexual abuse survivor, you can overcome. God promises us that when we come to Him, we get a brand new beginning.

As a sexual abuse survivor, you have been through a lot. Learning to live as a new creature is like a baby learning to walk. The baby takes it one step at a time. When we suffer mental anguish and condemnation the lord is there to help us through it. As sexual abuse survivors, we'll find it hard to deal with thoughts and feelings regarding love and acceptance. Because of our past, we do know feelings that combat, tear, and rip the heart and soul apart, but no one should have to experience what we have been through. Again, hope is there.

Empower Yourself,

Casey
