Abuse in Churches



I could never have imagined that I would hear a story with so many similarities to my own. Thank God for the courage of these women to speak out, despite the fear, shame and guilt. May the Lord bring us all healing, even though the 'churches' we belonged to, shun us and believe our abusers. 
'God knows the truth, but waits.' (Tolstoy)

Only the individual heart knows its own pain, suffering, sorrow and joy - no other can truly understand it (Proverbs 14:10), and we have to bring everything to Jesus,
because He alone is here, has infinite time, and patience, and love.

The eternal God is your refuge,
    and underneath are the everlasting arms.
He will drive out your enemies before you,
    saying, ‘Destroy them!’ (Deuteronomy 33:27)
