A Glimpse of From Victim to Virtuous: Each of us has been victims of common circumstances in our lives. When I think about the negative cycles many of us have repeated, I clearly understand the true essence of our actions. As I look back, I find myself questioning why we made the decisions in the first place to move in an unhealthy direction. Paradoxically, our decisions have obviously moved us from maintaining an emotional, mental, social, physical, and spiritual balance. We are victims of brokenness. This alone is a disease that spreads beyond measure just as cancer spreads to other areas of our lives and further damages us. This has caused us to become victims of alcohol, drugs, low-self esteem, selfishness, jealousy, anger, compulsion…multi-faceted abuses from others and ourselves, and the list goes on. I was once a victim of brokenness, which adversely affected other areas of my life— but God, delivered me! It is my desire that upon reading From Victim to Virtuous, you will claim and receive the position God has intended for you as well to become—A Virtuous Woman. As your desire for wholeness propels you toward a healthier and happier you, it is then that you will discover a special strength to embrace this season in which you now find yourself full with hope, faith, and confidence. -click here to return to the top A Glimpse of From Rejection to Relationship with God: The word rejection is defined as “the act of rejecting something.” It is not uncommon for any of us to experience rejection. We are often rejected by those who are very close to us—by our families, friends, and even some of our church members. Many of us have been rejected over and over again. I have learned that some people have a fear of being rejected. They do not like the feeling of being alone. When a person feels alone, it is common to reach out to others for love, support and validation. There is no need to look any further—you can reach out to God.
I have been rejected, and it did not feel good at all. The effects of being rejected pushed me right into the arms of my Heavenly Father. I have established a true, God-fearing relationship with Him. I believe that you, too, can move from rejection to relationship with God. One songwriter says, “I’ve searched all over and I can’t find nobody like You, Jesus.” Take a look what He did for all of us.
“He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth” (Isaiah 53:3-7).
Jesus’ suffering was well worth it. He endured so much pain and hurt. He made the sacrifice for us. We were purchased with the blood that He shed. We need to take a minute to give thanks to God. -click here to return to the top A Glimpse of A Word for Your Mind, Spirit, And Soul - For Everyday of the Year: “This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Did you know that God wants to say something to you everyday?
