Letters to my teenage self
A Devotional for Trauma Survivors
Day 4
Dear teenage self,
“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces."
+Matthew 7:6 (NKJV)
You don't realize this now, but in 20 years, you will break free from their clutches and start to heal. The peace you receive from severing this relationship will be like nothing you've ever known. You will be free.
Jesus is walking with you through everything, even when you don't feel Him. Turn to Him now and trust Him with your pain and your healing. He is capable. He is willing. He is waiting.
