Terrified Of Your Spouse?

The Realization of Victim Mentality

The realization of victim mentality…
is a definite must…
for many victims hurt others…
whom they can definitely trust.
For in all their efforts…
to avoid more abuse…
they avoid the real issues…

Removing Our Victim Mentality…

Removing our victim mentality…
is what we need to do…
and realizing our true identity…
as God sees me and you.
For we are all precious…
in God’s loving eyes…
despite what man says or does…
and all the evil Satan tries.

Financial Abuse Happens…

Financial Abuse happens…
in so many homes today…
where one controls all money…
negating what the other will say.
And even when one spouse works…
the wages have to be given over…

NUMBERS… A Message to Victims

NUMBERS… A message to victims:
I want to share a story in “Numbers”…
  12 men were sent to spy the land…
and report back any encumbers.

But only Joshua and Caleb,
did not fear the giants of the land.
For they knew that they would win,
with the Power of God’s Mighty Hand.

But the Israelites complained
claiming they would be victims in fear…
for they could only see the giants,
yelling, “how could God lead us here”.

Words of Wisdom For Today: Negative Thoughts

Negative thoughts…
just gotta’go…
but there’s something…

like an infection grows…
then negative feelings…
and even attitude shows.

A Victim Mentality is How Many Are Perceived

As we talk this month about the various aspects of abuse, I want to remind all victims that we do not have remain in that rut of victimization. We can arise above the brokenness of our past and walk into the future that God has specifically designed for each of us… but we need to let go of the past to overcome and advance into our future.

A victim mentality…
is how many are perceived…
for it’s how they see themselves…
as their brokenness becomes believed.
For they have trouble…
rising about the traumas in their life…
becoming stuck in the rut…
reliving the turmoil and strife.

Victims or Abusers… What Lies Within Your Heart?

As we bring awareness to various aspects of domestic violence this month, I want to remind everyone that whether a victim or an abuser, these behaviors all started with a wound upon a heart… a wound inflicted by an abuse.  So though it is hard to grasp when we are hurting from the wounds  of abuse from our own past, sometimes we need to remember that the abusers were once victims too. Now this does not excuse the abusive behaviors that are learned for we are all responsible for our words and actions. But, this is why we need to pray… so the cycle of abuse will be broken from our children.

Victims or Abusers…
What lies within your heart?
For what is hidden within…
is where your words and acts start.
For abusive words…
flow from the anger in your soul.
And they are like daggers…
to hearts of victims that they’re told.

with negativity leading their way.
