I've been Delivered by the love of Christ -Kimberlie

Picture
​I was sexually abused at age 13, it made me feel worthless and ashamed.  That view of myself led me to other abusive relationships, and to alcohol and to drugs.

I dropped out of school to be with someone who called me his girlfriend, but had to sell my body for food and money to survive.  Life was scary and filled with rejection.  I had many violent encounters and my  mother was ashamed of me.  My family was embarrassed by my reputation so they beat and abused me and even threatened to kill me.  I was desperate and all I wanted to do was kill myself.
 
An ex-boyfriend, who had introduced me to drugs and sex had gone through this program called Haiti Teen Challenge.  His life had changed in a big way and he encouraged me to go.  I went, but only to please him.
 
The program really hard, I honestly felt that the staff’s only object was to make my life difficult.  But what they said began to sink in and I realized that their objective was to prevent me from returning to the life I had before.

Now I know that God is not ashamed of me and because of Jesus I am a new creation.  2 Corinthians says, "therefore if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation. The old has passed away and behold the new has come."  I know I am not perfect, but I have found a love at HTC that no man will ever be able to give me, the love of Christ.
 
I have been delivered by the love of Jesus Christ.  And I know that He who started a good work in me will finish that work.
