BREAK THE CYCLE OF SILENCE

The burden of prevention has been resting for years on the smallest shoulders in our society, the children who are most vulnerable, least likely to be able to protect themselves from a powerful adult. This is especially true when considering that the majority of sexual abuse happens at the hands of an adult well known to the child.When children are abused by adults they are also confused by the fact that this person is supposed to be a protector, a care taker, and worthy of trust simply by being an adult ,( after all, we also teach children to obey adults, which can be very confusing) , child abusers are very often experts at emotional manipulation of children, gaining their trust well in advance of the of the actual abuse, in light of these fact(and many others),  it is clear that the time has come for adults to assume responsibility for protecting children.

BREAK THE CYCLE OF SILENCE .

CHILDREN AND ADOLESENT RECOVERING FROM CHILD ABUSE

You have been victimized by a terrible wrong. During your childhood, the time you were most vulnerable, instead of being protected, helped, and comforted you were abused. Most likely you were abused by someone who should have been trustworthy a family member, a teacher, a neighbor, a coach, a pastor, a friend. Instead of being protected you were violated. You were treated with malice. Someone used, misused, and took advantage of you. Now you are wondering if recovery is possible.

The simple answer to that question is yes, recovery is possible. But you already know you can’t just snap your fingers and make everything all better. And you know that pat answers won’t help you. But here are two important truths to keep in mind: You are not alone, and there is hope.

Your recovery will be a process of learning and remembering those two truths, not just once, but over and over. Think about how bread gets made. It must be kneaded so that the yeast goes through the whole loaf. These two truths must be kneaded into who you are until they work through every part of you. The working of these truths into the deepest part of you takes time. The damage you suffered may have been done in one or more terrible moments; the healing and the restoration unfolds at a human pace. It unfolds at your pace. It unfolds as part of your story, and it unfolds over time.

There are three broad categories of child abuse: verbal abuse, physical abuse, and sexual abuse. If you were verbally abused, someone whose words should have been helpful and kind instead demeaned you and assaulted you. If you were physically abused, someone (perhaps a parent or another authority figure) attacked you and hurt you. If you were sexually abused, someone used you and violated an intimate part of who you are.

However you were abused, what happened to you was evil—you were sinned against. And now you are suffering. God is mindful of your suffering, and he hears your cries. He heard the cry of a child dying of thirst in the desert (Genesis 21:17–18); he heard the cries of the Israelites suffering as slaves (Exodus 2:23–24); and he hears you. God has much to say to those who have experienced evil at the hands of others. So he has much to say to you.

CULLED FROM DAVID POWLISON

If wishes were horses, would you ride........

Uhmmmm......., thinking within myself if I CAN, but another thought came that I CAN AND I WILL.
Is God actually seeing all that is going on, does He even know I talk to him, does He even know I exist?, I kept asking myself different questions, why am I passing through all of these, I look for who I can talk to, everybody kept on mentioning God.
I believe in God o and I knows He works wonders, but I still dont believe why I am passing through all these stress, everyone is telling me to believe and have faith,  am conniving my faith with everyone that is talking to me about believing in God, because I believe with God all things are possible, I dont want to be shakened, frightened or depressed at all, my blessed days and my best days are soon to come, I know the trouble am facing now, I will see them no more, IT IS WELL WITH ME.

WIN BEFORE STARTING

Finish before you start, settle it fIirst in His presence, begin that journey as a finisher, begin that business as a success story.
Start with God and win before the battle begins, that means before the battle you have your victory, before the test, you have the testimony, before the pain, you have your gain,before you start,you have finished, before your enemies release the arrow of shame, God has already created your fame, what your enemy plan to destroy you will instruct you.
One of the most powerful ways to secure victory and Good success for you is to take time to start anything and everything with God.
Refuse to key Into what uncle or aunty can do for you, refuse to key into what one trusted friend has said or has done, but key into God because he that starts with God put himself above the world.

LOOK AT YOURSELF

Look at yourself : complete with 2 hands, 2 legs, 2 eyes, fearfully and wonderfully made by God, yet you say you can't make it. There is no difficulty that cannot be defeated. There is no victory that cannot be achieved, if you believe in God and in yourself, a better tomorrow lies ahead of you.

DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR SELF ALONE

A writer wrote some years back :" in all my experience in the world, i have always found myself to be the most interesting person i have ever met". is that not true also of yoursef? however, if you want to go far with God in life, you must learn and practice the very tough secret of accelerated testimonies: ( forgetting yourself a little).
what you sow in others, you will reap in multiple, learn the habit of sowing praise and encouragement in other lives, even if you are going through your own trials, you will find out that it will come back to you,
As we go out daily, do not talk too much of yourself, because it boring and also no one likes to listen to people who talk too much about themselves, listen to others as you would be listened to, people who talk about themselves are always boring, refuse it, people are hurting daily , talk about there problems, give people hope for there future.
show appreciation, praise loudly, blame softly, praise in public, discipline in private and pray for others regularly. A writer wrote, "the greatest good you can do for anybody is not just to share your riches, but reveal to him his own". show lot of love to others that are less privilegded.

DEEP.......

The two things I did learn were that you are as powerful and strong as you allow yourself to be, and that the most difficult part of any endeavour is taking the first step, making the first decision.
It is good to dream, but it is better to dream and work. Faith is mighter. Desiring is helpful, buy work and desire are invincible.
