Abused? Try Jesus!

So I'm sitting here watching the Dr. Phil show. There's a woman on the show talking about her being molested by her Dad starting at the age of 7 till the age of 14. She says she still has feelings of blame for the abuse. Her Dad on the other hand, says she seduced him and since he never forced her it was consensual! For any child victims of sexual abuse. Even if you are the one who first touched an adult or you are the one who had the adult touch you....you are NOT to blame!! This guy on TV is saying he takes full responsibility, yet in the next breath he says she shouldn't play little Ms. Innocent! I'm sorry, but that shocked me! Personally, I DO take responsibility for my actions and inaction. I deserve to be in prison. I'll say that till I die. The way the accusations were said were half truths, but that's OK! As an adult, it is always your duty to protect children from everything that could harm them. I failed by not stopping certain behavior from the first time I knew it occurred. Being predisposed to that type of behavior by my upbringing and consumed with lust, by never talking about anything that happened to me, it allowed my thinking to be skewed. I thought that's what love was. Thank God for His Word! By giving my life completely to Christ, my mind was cleared and is being transformed daily via His Word! That is what's healed my mind and heart. God has already healed those who call on His Name! Victims, this healing is there for you too. Don't live your life as a victim. Don't live your life as a defeated individual. Yes, you had something horrible happen to you! Romans 8:28, Paul says " And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God,to those who are called according to His purpose." Does this mean God wanted you to be hurt? Heck No! If I'd never been abused, I would have no idea really how it can affect a persons way of thinking! Or how to help another victim. God allowed me to go through the years of abuse in order for me to be able to emphasize with others! Because of that, I can declare with the authority of Jesus Christ, there is Hope for the hurting children and adults! Number one, if you've been abused in any way, TELL someone! If they don't believe you, TELL someone else! Number Two, if you've given your life to Christ, He is there. His Spirit, the Holy Spirit lives inside of you! Praise God! You're one step closer to receiving the healing that Jesus's blood on the cross offers! The Bible says, in Isaiah 53:4A " Surely our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried;" and " by His stripes we are healed." YES! Did y'all see that!? We ARE healed! Hallelujah!! If you haven't chosen Jesus as your Lord and Savior, what is stopping you right now? Put your trust in Him and you are healed! Will that mean all the pain, anger, fear, and shame will be immediately gone? No. We are humans, and in order for our hearts and minds to heal it may take some time because even though we are healed, if God were to take all those things away, how many of us would soon forget what God has done? It's easy to live in the past. Don't be stuck there! The past can't change, but praise God your present and future can! Choose Jesus: choose healing and life! Jesus said , this is the Amplified version of the Bible; "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me. because He has anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to announce release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send forth as delivered those who are oppressed [who are downtrodden, bruised,crushed, and broken down by calamity], To proclaim the accepted and acceptable year of the Lord [ the day when salvation and free favors of God profusely abound]. Luke 4:18-19. Please don't spend another second feeling crushed by the wounds of the past! Cry out to Jesus, He's waiting for you!
