We live in a world that is full of sin. Sin can shatter our dreams and leave us with broken hearts. We end up disappointed and totally destroyed but there is good news. We do have hope.
Before I go any further, this particular posting is for any woman who has been hurt by their spouse or boyfriend. This is for those who have been abused and beaten to the point of feeling totally worthless. This is for those who have never felt good enough and have had their heart broken into a million pieces. Those who have experienced these things are those who understand the pain and need the hope.
As little girls, we grow up dreaming of one day becoming a princess. We imagine our Prince Charming riding in on a white horse and making us blissfully happy. Not to burst anyone’s bubble, but that man does not exist. No human has the capability of making all of our dreams come true. (Think of Prince Charles and Princess Diana.)
Now before you get discouraged, as I said before, there is good news. You do not have to stop dreaming. There is a Prince waiting just for you. Once you find Him and discover His perfect love, you will never be the same. He is a true Prince and He will change your life once you devote your heart to Him. His name is Jesus.
When our hearts have been broken (and I am not talking about the broken heart that comes from a wayward child or a friend who has betrayed us) by the one person who promised to protect us, it is imperative that we find healing. God has to be allowed to reveal the mistakes that we made ourselves within the broken relationship so that we may learn from those things. Forgiveness has to be sought after and it is most important that we forgive the one who broke our heart.
My next choice is to begin to move forward. If I want to move forward, then I must trust God. Once of the great and most difficult lessons I have learned through my journey is that of distancing myself from those things that distract me from fully pursuing my love relationship with Christ. I found myself worried about feeling deprived or lonely from separating myself but I have learned the incredible happiness and joy of finding complete fulfillment in Christ. By choosing to pursue Him above all else, He has filled every need and enhanced every empty part of my life.

Jesus may provide some comfort, but he's not going to protect anyone from an abusive husband or boyfriend and it's irresponsible to suggest that religion is a solution to this kind of problem. People need to take responsibility for their own actions and their own safety, not rely on any outside force to solve their problems.

Thank you for your comment but I think you may have missed what I was talking about in my article. I never suggested staying with the abuser and am no longer with my abuser. That being said, as a women who has dealt with abuse, I fear men. I am now learning to trust God and surrender my life to Him allowing Him to lead me in the way I should go.

Unfortunately, you have learned nothing except to sink into the arms of superstition and ignorance.

Thank you for your comment as well. It's all about faith and trust. I choose faith in God. That may not be for you and that's ok. We are all given the choice and He is my choice. May He bless you.
