Rape/Incest

When we suffer from sexual abuse we can sometimes feel hopeless about the future. We must believe that even after the harshest winter, spring will come again with its profusion of color and new life.

The effects of rape on its victim are the same today: desolation, grief, and misery. The effects of those types of experiences can haunt a women existence, influencing her relationships with her husband, with male and female friends and with her children.

Help is available to those who seek it, but the ultimate hope and help can only be found in the love and acceptance God so willing offers.

His forgiving spirit can help recovery begin. His comforting spirit can bring a soothing balm to the hurt of the past. His constant presence can bring healing for the loneliness and the detachment many feel.

How/when does healing begin?
