2 Corinthians 12:9 “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”
What is shame? The dictionary says “disgrace, disrepute,” as well as feeling guilty for an immodest act. Even though my abuse stopped many years ago I still have to battle the shame of it. When a child is sexually abused he or she has their very essence stolen, crushed into the dirt and trampled into the waste of generations. Psychologists tell us that a child will always figure out how everything is their fault-- even though it definitely is not-- as I did, which leads to even more shame and brokenness.
But this I know, and can testify to you today, that God is good. His “strength is made perfect in weakness,” There are those who may wonder at my decision to speak about my childhood abuse. The world does not understand someone openly discussing events that break down their resolve and render useless their talents. I'm sure there are even some who consider me to be a fool.
God has a plan for me. He has given me the gift of writing and Satan gave me the weakness in which God's strength can be perfected.
So, who is the fool?
No Time for Despair- the Conclusion (?)
