Know That
It grieves God when a home turns into a place of pain, shame and fear. God’s desire for those who’ve experienced domestic violence victims and abusers is healing and wholeness that will bring abuser to a place of repentance. Domestic violence is completely opposite to God’s plan for families. Genesis 1 and 2 depict marriage as a one-flesh, helping relationship.
Self acceptance
Really accepting yourself for yourself is the beginning of self confidence and self esteem. Accepting yourself is also the way to start the healing process of the deep soul wounds that you may carry. Forgive yourself and others. Own who you are and embrace your space in this world. Sometimes we look outwardly for acceptance and approval which can devastate us when we don’t receive it... we often get the exact opposite and that can truly break our spirits.
Even after you are physically safe and your bodily wounds have healed, we realize that emotional and psychological scars can run deep and effect how you adjust to life after abuse. Domestic violence can have severe spiritual and natural implications leaving some Victims and Survivors with deep trust issues with people and even God.
You might ask yourself questions like...
Why would GOD allow such a thing to happen?
Why Me?
Does God really love me?
What did do to deserve this?
GOD where were you when I was being abused?
My friend please know It is completely natural have questions, feelings and emotions like these. It is natural to express your anger over past abuse. If we don’t come to terms with the reality of the intensity of our situations the anger, the pain, the fear, the confusion, the hurt, the shame, etc. we will never fully heal from the past abuse. Abuse survivors of abuse are often nudged into prematurely rushed into forgiving those who hurt us. Although forgiveness is the thing that will set us free, healing and the grieving process takes time. Please understand that honest forgiveness cannot be achieved if the scars and memories of the abuse are not first acknowledged and dealt with. We encourage you to find the support you need to help you in your journey through the healing process and the freedom to just be! My friend there is absolutely nothing in the Bible to support the view that it is God's will for people to endure relationship abuse. The Bible is clear that violence is evil and must be confronted. Jesus teaches us that we need to bring evil into the light. We are to rebuke the wrongdoer, seek justice and hold them accountable.

Intimate Partner Violence
Historically called "domestic violence," "intimate partner violence" describes physical, sexual, or psychological harm by a current or former intimate partner or spouse. This type of violence can occur among heterosexual or same-sex couples.
Violence by an intimate partner is linked to both immediate and long-term health, social, and economic consequences. Factors at all levels — individual, relationship, community, and societal — contribute to intimate partner violence. Preventing intimate partner violence requires reaching a clear understanding of those factors, coordinating resources, and fostering and initiating change in individuals, families, and society.
