Where is home? They say it’s where the heart is. Home is in the hand and heart of God. Home is where you find security, the freedom to blossom and flourish, and the place where you find peace and rest.
For years my heart had no home. I allowed abuse to dictate how I felt, I allowed fear to silence my voice. I was convinced that toxicity was my only shelter and for so long I didn’t even realize I was being mistreated. But I’m so thankful for a Heavenly Father who saw me as flawed yet fearfully and wonderfully made, broken yet beautiful, scarred yet sanctified, and in pain but full of purpose.
You may be reading this and feeling hopeless. Being emotionally abused can truly take its toll on the mind, spirit and body. I want you to know as you’re reading this, that your life is not over! Your destiny is so much greater than what you’re experiencing or what you’ve experienced in the past. Your life experiences of pain is not meant to be stagnant. You have to make pain have a point, so that your suffering becomes an act of service to others so that they can come home too.
Home is the place where you are accepted, healed, and restored. It is time to upgrade your living space. You may have been living in fear of what life would look like without the abuser or shame over allowing mistreatment for so long. You might have some confusion over who you really are, and be reeling from the pain of rejection. Those emotions were just rentals. You are now ready to end your lease with anything or anyone that does not line up with your permanent home of purpose, freedom and self-acceptance. You can live in a peace that surpasses all that you can understand. You will experience sheer joy, and receive true love, right here on earth.
Today is a celebration day for you! It’s your welcome home party! We are welcoming you home to your real and authentic self. We are welcoming you home to self-love and self-acceptance. We are welcoming you home to the state of conscious living. Pursue those dreams and as you move onward, expect God to show you that He is concerned about the things that concern you. You have a right to true love!
You might be wondering how to start defining and experiencing what true love and acceptance really is. That’s where a relationship with God comes in. If you are unsure of what that looks like, let me know. I’d be happy to share my faith with you. God has amazing things in store for you. It’s time for you to step into your purpose. It’s time for you to come home.
As you make your journey “home” which is really a discovery journey to embracing who God created you to be, I encourage you to keep a few things in mind. Acknowledge what happened to you. Divorce yourself from the opinions of others as many do not understand the effects of narcissistic abuse. Ask God for the grace, wisdom and strength to do the work on yourself first. This may take awhile so give yourself grace. You will be better prepared to recognize the signs of those who are abusive. Place your hands in His hands and cast every last care. Welcome Home Suga.
