Often times, the fear of failure resides within one's own self. A lot of people ask victims of Domestic Violence, "Why do you stay?" The answers to that popular question, differ from each individual's current circumstance(s). Some stay because of lack of finances, resources, to provide a home for their child(ren) and also the answer that could define so much of why, is often given by one word, FEAR!
According to a Children's Dictionary, fear means, a strong feeling one gets when one expects danger or pain. The key word that I admire here is "expects". When you expect failure, that's typically your end result. So starting today/tonight, choose to expect greatness in your life! God created you, not people and what a marvelous job I must say He did! As a victim of domestic violence, you operate or function daily based off of your fears. Mostly fears of living around the abusive partner or fears of dying if/when you decide to leave the relationship and or marriage. As a survivor, I can remember my fears being about starting my life over from scratch. Fears of finding love again and being loved. But then God stepped in and helped me conquer ALL of those fears, with me staying in His word, believing in His word and trusting in His word!
A mother eagle teaches her baby eagle to fly by flying high in the air, releasing or dropping the baby eagle......of course the mother eventually catches the infant, but the lesson remains the same: YOU CAN'T FLY, UNLESS YOU SPREAD YOUR WINGS!!! Remember, in life to spread your wings and fly into the blessings that God has for you. Execute the fears out of your life and embrace the abundance of God's glory and favor in your life.
Domestic violence is a terrible, fearful, horrific and sometimes deadly crime for victims. God gave you wings to fly above ANY danger, statistics, negative influences and or fears of rejection or failures. Pray bold prayers to God and watch yourself soar threw this open journey of life, with confidence!
As you spread your wings, BREAK THE SILENCE of domestic violence!
