Trust is one of the hardest things to rebuild after sexual abuse. It touches every part of life—relationships, self-worth, even faith. Yet Scripture reminds us that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, offering us a steady anchor as we relearn safety and courage in Him.

We’ve all heard the childhood rhyme, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Yet, nothing could be further from the truth. Words don’t just fade—they echo. They have the power to wound us long after the moment has passed, shaping how we see ourselves and even how we speak to our own hearts. For many survivors, the deepest scars aren’t left by physical harm but by the cruel, condemning words that replay like a broken record. The good news? God invites us to silence those lies and replace them with His truth. Healing begins when we learn to speak life instead of loathing.

How sharing your story after sexual abuse can be a powerful step toward healing, freedom, and reclaiming your voice.
