Day 12
A Rape victim is always plunged into another state of life that is entirely  different from her normal usual self. The play back of The event mixed with the pain and helplessness makes it difficult to move on and it fills the heart with hate, grief, fear and unforgivness. Today, we look at how to get away from that strange place you suddenly find yourself and that strange person you have become.

-Take it to Jesus Christ: Jesus said “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest”- Matt 11:28 (NKJV). Those words are real and they are true. There is rest for every soul that comes to Jesus. Rest is that place of tranquillity, a place where you find peace inspite of so much that life is throwing at you. Only a walk with Jesus Christ can offer the peace that brings healing, clarity and direction. It is better experienced than described as words fail to express the reality of it.

You have to take it all to Jesus. He will meet at your very point of need. He will fill the vacuum and emptiness you feel within you. He will pull you out of the miry clay and slimy pit and wash away every shame you feel and set you on solid rock and give you a new song to sing. Take it that this ought to be a walk and not just a one time contact. You should have a close walk with Him through every momemt and phase of healing. The devil will always try to remind you of that past as you are being healed but as you walk closely with Jesus, He will comfort you and give you a new and beautiful experience always. He will replace the shame with joy and glory. Take it to Jesus.

-Forgive: I agree that forgiveness is a difficult pill to swallow at this stage but it is a necessary for complete healing to happen. when you forgive, you take away the weight and burden of wrath you feel. The burden of not forgiving the rapist limits you from giving full expression in worship to God which includes your livelihood. To forgive is to cancel every wrong you hold against someone. Its like picking an arrow and shooting far away into the sea where you cannot find it anymore. It is not as easy as stated but through faith in God, you can find strength to forgive as you have been forgiven through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. If you have been forgiven much then you have to forgive. You will not forget but the power that forgiveness will give you will supersede the bitterness that remembering ought to bring.

Forgiveness is first personal and with the Lord so you don’t need to see the person before you forgive. You can forgive without ever meeting the person again. Whenever and wherever you forgive, it is a chance for you to get your victory, freedom and strength back from the person. You deserve to be joyful and you will find it as you forgive.
Chose the path of victory and forgive the rapist. You can.
