Hope And Healing For The Abused

Many Christians carry the scars of their experiences of physical, verbal, racial, emotional, spiritual or sexual abuse. As a consequence their life is controlled by confusion and shame, and they go through life feeling rejected and fearful of further rejection. For many, death can even become a preferable option to a life without hope. They have experiences which they are trying to forget or don’t want to talk about but which, nevertheless, still influence their lives and hold them back from living the abundant life that Jesus came to bring.
