From Victim to Victor



One day I woke and began to think over my life. I thought about all the hurt that I endured through the past years. I wondered why I allowed myself to be a victim of emotional abuse. For so many years I thought things would change, but eventually the abuse and rejection came back again and again. I believe that if I stayed there time would change my outcome. I began to feel like I was worthless, not wanted, rejection began to set in and depression.

Well what changed how I began think and look at myself was pne phone call. I received a call from someone I hold dear to my heart. She told me she had a dream about me and in the dream she described everything I was actually going through. Her last words she told me was “ God said you were going to come out of this alright”
From that very moment God allowed me to realize to be no more a Victim but to be a Victor. God instructed me to stop seeing myself as a victim and began to speak positive to my situation. No More Victim!
I had to make the choice to allow a change. The choice was up to me to arise from Victim to Victor and from Prey to Pray. It's your decision, you decide!

Letting Go Of Past Hurts

Letting go of past hurts is easier said than done.

The very thing that we once loved can now be causing our pain. We hold and hide the pain of our past on the inside for many years, not knowing how to let it go. We feel at times so burden down.

You may wonder how can someone love me with all the pain and stuff that is going on in the inside. We hope someone would come along and notice that we are hurting on the inside. We feel so lonely and isolated. We wonder when will the pain go away. Holding onto past hurt will cause unforgiving and bitterness. This could lead into depression. Let it all go! You can begin again. Make the first step in letting it go. Let go of all the hurt, pain, resentment, dishonesty, anger, disappointments, bitterness, and all past hurt. Let it go. Release the stress. The past will always be just that...the past. You will begin to heal when you let go of past hurts and just forgive.

We must Divorce our past, Engage our present and Embrace our future.

Isaiah 43:18-19 

New International Version (NIV)

 

¹⁸ “Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
¹⁹ See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.

Life is too short...

“Life is too short to waste any amount of time on wondering what other people think about you. In the first place, if they had better things going on in their lives, they wouldn't have the time to sit around and talk about you. What's important to me is not others' opinions of me, but what's important to me is my opinion of myself.” - C. C.JoyBell C

Low Self-Esteem

Low self esteem is lack of confidence and satisfaction in oneself. We must change the way that we think about ourselves. Every action has a reaction to it. Many times we allow what others say about us on the outside to have a great impact on how we feel on the inside. Sometimes we feel so low on the inside because of the circumstances that we face daily . This could include but limited to divorce, separation, break-ups, loneliness, past rejections, feeling of being unwanted, scars, deformities, disabilities, imperfections, overweight, depression and the list goes on.

You are beautiful and wonderfully made. First love yourself! Make changes in your life to better you. Get rid of that “Stinking Thinking.” The biggest battle within us is the battle of the mind. We must raise the level of our thinking. Inner beauty should be the most important part of improving one's self. You are not alone. There is someone else out there feeling the same why you do. God made you unique and different. Let your light shine through. Someone need to see it.

"By being yourself, you put something wonderful in the world that was not there before." ~Edwin Elliot
