Don't Make yourself a Victim...
Hello y'all.... sorry haven't written in a few weeks but I couldn't find the words to write. I finally found a subject that God has placed on my heart near and dear.
Throughout our lives, we all face difficulties whether it is at our job, home, or in our relationships. We all have faced either emotional, physical or sexual abuse in some way shape or form. No one is perfect. We all have people in our life that try to victimize us. So many people in this world need control because they don't have Jesus in their life. So they take their frustrations out on innocent people. But we must not victimize ourselves. I know this for a fact as I have faced many difficulties.
God did not created us fully knowing that there would be evil on this world because he gave us the greatest gift of all; we are free to make our own choices. To be truly Holy, we must choose goodness. For some, they will never choose good over evil in their life. God wants us to make this choice in our life so that we can truly be holy. Holy does not mean we are perfect but it means we live our life in the image of God. A lot of people miss perceive holy as being perfect, which no one ever will be perfect in the eyes of our Lord except Jesus. God does not need us to be perfect as he sent his only son to die on the cross for our sins. He wants us to live our life for him rather.
I have many issues involving not feeling good enough for certain people in my life. Due to this, I have walked a dark path. I have faced a eating disorder, loss of self confidence, and much more. Many people don't realize how much pain they cause a person from their hurtful words. Unlike the saying, "Sticks and bones can break my bone, but words will not", I believe that words can do just as much damage. As a child, I dealt with rejection from one side of the family, because of this I never felt good enough. This lead to my eating disorder. I felt that if I can't control how other feel about me at least I can control what I eat. I am not proud of my eating disorder, but I do believe it has brought me to the place I am at now. It has brought me closer to God. I believe God saved me from my own self as God loves me for who I am not how other love me. Even through it all, I choose not to become a victim of my circumstance. I wake up each morning with a smile on my face because I know God loves me for me. I know that no matter what I do he will be there for me. He loves me even when I doubted him. He loved me through my darkest days even when I didn't even love myself.
God wants us more than ever. He loves each of us, "In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins." 1 John 4:10. God sent his only son to die for our sins. His love is so great that it can not be measured here on this Earth. We all must face difficulties on Earth like many before us have including Job, Ruth, Noah, Paul, Jesus, Joseph, Mary, Martha, and many other prophets and people of the Bible. God wants us to chose between Good or Evil. So what do you chose?

"More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us." Romans 5:3-6
