Learning how To Forgive Victims cry The victims cry hurts how to forgive
The Victim's Cry is a book about the power of forgiveness and how to forgive the
offenses of others who have hurt you. Most people, especially Christians, know that
they should forgive offenses, and there are many resources on why we should practice
forgiveness and how important it is that we forgive others when they hurt us, but
I've come across only a few resources that teach about how to forgive. My hope is
that content of The Victim's Cry helps you as much as it has me and many others.
Have you ever been a victim of a emotional abuse, sexual abuse, or other physical abuse? I dare say that every person on this earth has been mistreated and hurt in some way, and so, according to Webster's Dictionary, we all are victims. At one time or another you have probably felt misunderstood and alone, like nobody really understands or even cares about the pain that you’re going through. You may have believed that you were unwanted or unlovable or that somehow you deserved to be mistreated. Feelings of hopelessness may have crept in during prolonged periods of abusive situations.
I've not yet met anyone who really wants to be hurt, and yet we all do get hurt, and we all deal with pain the best we know how. Did you ever notice that some people who've been hurt seem to get over their pain quickly while others struggle with the pain their entire lives? Many people turn to drugs or alcohol or some other addictive substance or behavior in an effort to cover up or escape the pain in there hearts. If you ever wonder if God really cares or even sees the troubles you're going through, then listen to how God treats victims:
"But You , O God, do see trouble and grief; You consider it and take it in hand. The victim commits himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless.....You hear, O Lord, the desire of the afflicted; You encourage them, and You listen to their cry, defending the fatherless and the oppressed, in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more," (Ps 10:14,17-18 NIV).
Do you understand what this means? God, who created you, loves you, and He really cares about you. He listens to the victim's cry. He listens to you when you call out to Him in the midst of your suffering. And He has an awesome plan to bring you out of your misery, but you must follow His plan of rescue; you must learn to trust Him and patiently wait on His perfect timing. There is only one true God, and He created you. You must call on Him, for He understands everything you're going through, and only He knows the perfect plan to get you through.
God has established a perfect plan for you to move from victim to victor. You simply have to take a few simple steps in order to move into that place of victory. That's what The Victim's Cry is all about - helping you learn how to forgive so that you can experience peace and joy and victory today!
