Good News For Victims of Abuse

God does not see us in light of the abuse. He sees what He created, people made in His image. He is eager to restore us to the purpose for which He created us. Because God designed us, He is the only One who can define us.

Nothing can steal that definition. No abuse, sin, mistake, or tragedy is strong enough to override what God has declared to be true. We can choose to defy Him, reject His offer of restoration, and walk away from His gift of eternal life (John 3:16–18).

But when we allow Him to work in us, surrendering ourselves to the One who loves us best, beauty can spring from ashes!
