Shame a Weapon of Control in Verbal Abuse

" Shame is an overwhelming negative sense that who we are isn't okay.
shame is a spell others put on us to control us, to keep us playing our part in
abusive relationships. It is a spell we then learned to place on
ourselves... It's okay to be who you are. You are good enough. Your feelings are
okay, and it's okay to be human."

- excerpt taken from Melody Beattie The language of letting go

You are a beautiful work of art and radiant diamond. No matter what is said to you, know you were created to have a purpose that excites your soul. No one deserves to be shamed. When we hear shame so many times over and over again without rejecting it, our minds accept it as reality.

God is perfection. If God did not make you perfect, why is someone else trying to make you feel like you should be perfect. The problem lies with the person saying those things. The problem becomes yours when you accept their words as truth.

There is scripture that helped me regain my sanity and helped me to leave my abusive relationship that I repeated over and over again and hopefully it can help you too.

" But, I have a mind just like you; I am not inferior to you."- Job 12:3 (NIV)

Job was being tormented by his so called friends and this was his response to them. God gave you wisdom and intuition. Know that in your heart. And Carry it in your spirit. I am praying for you and hope to meet you soon!
Be Bold, Be Worthy because you are you!
