Domestic Violence should never become an accepted lifestyle

1 out of 10 women have been abused whether it was physical or verbal. 1 out of 10 women goes back to their abuser one because they think things have changed and most feel comfortable with what they are familiar with. Ladies please pay attention if you are in a domestic relationship now, if your abuser can not admit he has a problem and seek the help he needs the abuse will continue. Women who have been abused have been conditioned to think it's their fault and they feel if they don't do certain things the abuse would have never happened. Some women stay for the sake of their children but as you are staying for the sake of your children you are allowing them to experience the abuse you are going through emotionally which will scar them for life. Some women stay for financial reasons and feel you can't make it without  your abuser financial support. There are Women Shelters in place to help you, if you can not stay with someone until you are able to support yourself and your children.  Just know the abuse is not your fault and God never created us to be abused but loved and respected. Don't allow domestic violence to become your accepted lifestyle. If you are being abused or know someone who is I encourage you to call the National Domestic Violence Hotline and get the help you need and please share the number it can save a life.

Discovering your identity in God as a born again believer

John 1:12-13 NJKV
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name receive him to those who believed in His name. who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of flesh, nor the will of man, but of God

God has created everyone with their own uniqueness and purpose.

Ephesians 2:10 NIV
For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God prepared in advance for us to do.

God sees you differently than how you see yourself or even how the world sees you.

Matthew 5:14 NKJV
You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

You are not what you used to do but a new creation in Christ

2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

As a born again believer you will never be excluded from trials and tribulations but you will be able to overcome them with God on your side.

Romans 8:37 NKJV
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

The closer you draw to God the more he can reveal himself to you and you will be able to walk in the fulfillment of what he created you for.

May God bless you
