There is some power in sharing your story with others. You do not have to share explicit details or details you are not comfortable with sharing with others in order to share how you overcame. You can simply share how you overcame a trial. Sometimes we may think “but I haven’t been perfected yet, how can I share my story?” If you are still here after abuse, God has given you the grace to survive and overcome. We will never be perfect on this side. But as you grow and heal you will learn new truths to apply to your life that will help you take another step forward. Of course, it’s important in knowing your audience, taking into consideration age and maturity when sharing specific details of your story.
Sharing your story doesn’t have to happen on a large scale, it may happen on an individual level, one on one. You may recognize someone going through a particularly difficult time or someone struggling with what you have been through and feel led to say something. There are not always questions, but be prepared for questions or sometimes someone may not be as knowledgeable in this area.
Your story is powerful, let God use it because someone needs to hear it!
II Corinthians 1:3-4
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
