Life Beyond the Scars: Finding Peace Beyond Child Sexual Abuse

We are called to encourage one another because discouragement is never in short supply. Whether it's at home, at work, at church, or at play, we can so easily find ourselves discouraged when we rely on other people and circumstances to bring us emotional contentment rather than on our Lord. Your church can be a carepoint for those in the congregation and community who are dealing with discouragement and emotional discontent by hosting a Christ-centered 10-session support group based on Kelly Hawkins' grace-full book Healing Tears and ministering Christ's love to them now!

Healing Tears: Reclaiming Freedom from Emotional Discontent

From The Rest of Your Life: Discovering God's Rest in a Driven, Demanding, Distressful World ... "We're tired. We're stressed. We're over-extended. But we can't stop. We're committed. We have to get it done-whatever it takes. Our desperation to combat the signs of fatigue and stress generated an elaborate over-the-counter drug industry equipped with caffeine, cigarettes, aspirin, antacids, sleeping pills, laxatives and even herbal tranquilizers. Starbucks, Coca-Cola, Marlboro, Bayer and Rolaids net their fortunes keeping us going and going and going...until we drop. "From the beginning of creation, we're given the example of God-at-rest. Why? Was he tired from forming everything out of nothing? Did he need a break from divine demands? Did he take a day off from being God and let the earth chill-out after creation? I don't think so.... In fact, God rested after creation, because his work was complete. It was a done deal!... Biblical rest doesn't mean comfort and ease, nor idleness or irresponsibility. It doesn't necessarily require the cessation of activity, but bestows serenity and security even in the midst of strenuous activity. God's rest doesn't require the luxury of a settled life but rather the comfort of a secured soul."

Church/spiritual abuse takes many forms. It can range from sexual molestation to gossip and character assassination. Whatever form it takes, however, one thing is certain: It leaves scars. Often those abused leave the church never to return; sometimes they stay, afraid to leave, paralyzed by fear, insecurity, and shame. Either way, they need a healing touch and a supportive guide who has been there and knows how it feels.

History

Job changes are common. According to the Bureau of Labor statistics, the average person faces about 10 job changes during one's (paid) employment careers between the ages of 18 and 40. Many of these employment changes are involuntary, being the result of company downsizing, rightsizing, layoffs and terminations. Over 14.5 million people in the U.S. experienced some unemployment in 2005. Many other people change jobs because they are dissatisfied with their jobs. Bring the biblical resources on calling and vocation to bear for those in your congregation who are asking: "What do I want to be when I grow up?"
