Story #18
-
My story is a special one. I’m only 22 years old, but God has delivered me from so much. As a child, I was sexually abused by my father, a fact which was unknown until I was in high school when memories began to resurface. I didn’t know why, but I knew something was wrong. I hated myself, I was insecure, even suicidal at points. Once I discovered what had happened to me, I wondered if I would ever feel like a princess again, if I would ever be beautiful again. For 7 years, I have clung to scriptural truth and solid teaching about God’s deliverance and hope. And I can now say, as of March 1, I am free! I am loved by my Father and I am HIS princess. I am whole and I am pure because my God has healed and delivered me. I used to think I would never feel truly beautiful or ever be able to move past this, but there is NO trial to big for God. Once I stopped focusing on my pain and focused on the truth God already told me in his Word, I opened a door to deliverance that has changed me.
