This week I learned that one of my family members has been a victim of sexual abuse for the past 6 years. It's not what you might think. No, this was a close female family friend who began a sick, manipulative, guilt-tripping relationship with a 14 Y.O. male. It doesn't take much to entice a teenager and when she had him, the shame and fear of exposure created a trap that crushed his soul and destroyed a thing meant for good. It caught everyone off guard, but the signs were there in retrospect.

@daniel 😢 I'm sickened at heart to read this, I'm so sorry! We know Jesus can heal the crushed soul and create a new life, one able to see others that are being hurt and show the way out through Jesus.
Plz know I'm praying!
