Abuse and trauma bring about a disconnect in our lives, which causes isolation, loneliness, and division. It keeps us from moving forward in our life, keeping us stuck, with no movement or progress. How do we get out of this?
Disconnect
Confidence or Pride?
There is a difference between having confidence in who we are in Christ, and having pride that comes from the enemy. If the devil can get us feeling like we have no value or self-worth, we have opened a door for him to possibly destroy us. We won’t believe the Bible or be able to hear from God. We will stay in darkness and allow the devil to take over our lives. We must align our thoughts up with God’s Word in order to be set free.
Stab Wounds
When we are hurting, we tend to hurt others. We leave stab wounds with our mouth as we jab and poke at others to relieve our own pain. God is love and wants us to follow His ways, not the devil's.
