I have c-ptsd and had traumas from age 4. Traumatic events took place over many years. RA at age 7. Violent death of my niece and fiance. Violent attack by a mob and attempted rape at age 19. I was a complex mess. I continued to slide down hill for years and coped in all the usual unhealthy ways. I broke down finally in 1989. At that time I began a radical relationship with Jesus Christ and that has made all the difference for me.
As one person said this brings peace you cannot get any other way. I know all of my healing over the years has been due to God working in my life. I am now dealing with the severe sexual abuse from early childhood. God did nothing to me but to help me and lead me out of my pit.
I am so sorry people have hurt so many claiming to be christians. He is so often misrepresented by ppl claiming to be His spokesman. If it isnt love and compassion it isnt God. If it isnt mercy and grace it isnt God. Best wishes to all who posted here. Eagle |
