“God commands courage after abuse”
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.
Hayley says:
When I was 4, my father starting to physically and emotionally abuse me. He would beat me, yell at me, shut me in rooms without food, and a whole plethora of other things. At times, I would feel alone and scared. But, tonight at church I heard this verse, and I’ve decided to make this my life verse.
