Stop Domestic Violence
Domestic Violence is not something you only see in the movies. But domestic violence is a really big problem in our world today. The realities of what really goes on behind closed doors is Terrible… And Mind-blowing. Individuals who once said “I Do” and committed to a life long journey to start off the honeymoon stage with rosebuds, compliments and fireworks… lived a fantasy; until their true selves begin to manifest. For many, Domestic Violence is caused by a chemical addiction that is uncontrolled, for others its “Insecurities” that causes a controlling spirit to manifested in them and for others, it is caused by narcissistic behavior, pride or even secret sin in the heart… regardless, domestic violence destroys so many unions in families and in relationships with and without children. Domestic Violence is very serious to God and will be addressed, discussed and Judged by God Almighty Himself in the end. Domestic Violence is a direct attack and assault on the very image of God; People He Provides for and requires to be loved. Domestic violence affects everyone.
The Sting of Abuse
Now I know many could expand on this topic in great detail. Some reading may have been victims of abuse or witnessed others abused in their lives or in their homes. I witnessed it also; way more times than I can count in my life, from being a child seeing what I saw to hearing next door neighbors going through it with tears burning down my face, because of the severity of it. The sting of affliction, abuse, verbal abuse and physical abuse is enough to break the heart for years; sometimes for a lifetime. The sorrow of seeing the person you shared everything with tighten up their fist in rage to hurt you; in attempt to exercise control and under control by a substance while you know they are not themselves. Imagine The pain young children must feel to see the two people they love the most yell at each other as the tension increases and is finally ended with physical violence and all they can do is scream, cry and feel great sorrow and confusion. Domestic violence hurts the whole family. I remember being a kid and hearing my next door neighbor (who was always so kind to me when I was playing outside) screaming and fighting with her husband while being like 9 years old. I paused my video game and started to cry for her as I heard her pinned up against the wall on the other side of the wall screaming “okay… okay…” in a tearful voice and knowing she was pinned up against the wall and then hearing her get physically hurt and crying out loud. I cried so much. I was a kid and I wanted to help her so much but I was like “what can I do.. I’m just a kid”. I laid there crying hard. I knew he hit her really hard. And she was crying and saying, “I didn’t do anything wrong”. I was devastated. I didn’t know how to explain it to my mom at the time. She called me and she immediately said, aww you’ve been crying… I can tell.” (She saw the dried tears that I didn’t wipe from my cheek.) My mind was trying to process it and it was too much for me. I realized then…the magnitude of pain that domestic violence causes.
Child Abuse
Domestic violence isn’t always Husband/Wife. Sometimes Domestic Violence is Child Abuse. Many are victims of Child abuse. Many have come a long way from that and have healed and have really survived and recovered. Many have had the power to forgive. For Others, It is definitely hard. Child abuse Is no Joke. God’s Word Stands…Especially when it speaks about hurting or abusing children. There are many that have survived Childhood Trauma, Sexual abuse, Physical abuse, Verbal abuse, Neglect, Mistreatment… that if you spoke on it… Jaws would be dropped….Immediately. Hearts would be broken and Tears would swell up and pour out like Niagara Falls. So Many have seen siblings abused, elderly relatives abused, Cousins Abused and so much more. Domestic violence is Abuse and Violence in the household.
What You Can Do To Stop Domestic Violence
Get help! Realize what you’re dealing with. Understand that you’re not in this alone. Don’t Blame yourself or feel like no one cares. Protect your children at all cost. Some kids understand. Do what you need to do instead of what you want to do. Get out of your comfort zone and realize that you have right then..the power to stop a generational curse; so that your kids don’t have to fight it and try to stop what passed down to them from what they saw week after week. Really Fast and Pray continually. Don’t keep it a secret. Be brave and Realize that you are loved. Trust the doors that God opens for you to escape. Do not fear. Know your worth. I’m almost for certain that The LORD’s Heart is Broken and is Full Of Heaviness and Pain; While Observing Domestic Violence From His Throne, while He strategically opens paths to escape, to give the victims a way to escape it. Domestic Violence and Abuse is so real. Really Pray for those you know that are being abused… talk to God for them. Your voice may be the only voice that reaches Heaven for them. Find ways to show extra love and support. Be gentle with them. Pour out compassion and support them. Your reward will be very great in Heaven. Domestic Violence Is Sometimes Unbearable.
Final Thoughts
Getting counseling with an Ordained Minister and His Wife, meeting with a Therapist or Opening up to someone who you love and trust is a great start. It’s crucial to know God. And know that He cares. Many might be like… “If God cares, Why does He allow it…. why doesn’t He stop it”. We MUST understand that God gives us free will to choose right or wrong….And, we MUST know that there will be a final Judgement upon all flesh. Every Individual will stand before Him to give an account of every deed done in their body whether good or bad. God will do this “Without Respect of Persons”. He Gives People Space To Repent and Change Their Ways. Husband or not…wife or not…family member or not… we will all reap what we have sown. We will all be required to give an account of our days and how we handled those who God trusted us to care for and those who we really mistreated after entering a covenant before God in Marriage, Friendship and Relationships. No lying word will be spoken in His Presence.
We MUST live in the present and really help those who are suffering and struggling behind closed doors. We must really visit them, really love them, really help them. Domestic violence can be stopped. Sometimes it might be way over our heads; but it is Always still under The LORD’s Feet. What Continues Is What You Allow.
Don’t be afraid to get help.
