Why are you ashamed because someone sexually abused you? You didn’t do anything. You were a victim.That means someone older, more mature, bigger, did this to you.
Consider this: a bully picks on kids smaller than he or she because they are defenseless. Usually, they are bigger. They use their bigness to intimidate a smaller more vulnerable child.
You are not alone. There are thousands who have been imprisoned the same way, for a crime they didn’t commit, feeling accused for an act that was not their fault.
There you have it, the first step, stand up, face the facts, you are not a child; you have control over what happens to you from now on.
Like so many, you have been there so long, you may not want to believe. Go take a look in the mirror.
What do you see? Is that a child, or an adult? Case closed. Now, will you leave it closed. The signs of sexual abuse have been exposed. You now know who you are, what happened. And you are realizing the effects of sexual abuse is life changing.
You have the power to stop those voices in your head. I can’t stop them, only you. Change your mind.
Tell me something, what do you have to be ashamed of? NOTHING! At least not those childhood sexual abuse acts. You may have other stuff to be ashamed of but not this.
Are you feeling shame right now? Take a moment and ask God for help; ask him to forgive you for feeling ashamed of something you didn’t do. Maybe you should ask forgiveness of the part you played in taking the acts done to you and creating or doing other shameful things in your life.
Don’t be too proud to ask for help for sexual abuse; you are not alone. You can ask for forgiveness too. You did those things after the sexual abuse. You and you alone are accountable for that.
Do you want to be whole? Do you want to feel good about yourself? I know you do. And you can. There is nothing to stop you from receiving joy into your heart right now; nothing stopping you from kicking shame out of your life.
What will you do with your new life? Make plans. Get busy. It’s your time! Embrace it! Run with it.
Life is too short to cage yourself up in shame. Smell the freedom. Be Free!
Life happens. But you are not alone. Others are dealing with the issues of life. Read about some of those experiences (click here)
