The Old Me is Dead and Gone

Living in peace is an ultimate goal. Who wants to continue living in an abusive relationship? Who wants to continuously be told they are nothing? Who wants to be controlled by another human being? Who wants to be scared of their mate? Who wants to cry everyday asking God to free them from a bad relationship? What grown woman want to be treated like a child and whipped like a child who just said bad words and disrespected their parents? Who wants a mate that take control of the finances and spend it the way he see fit then lie about it? Who wants a mate that cheat constantly but you better not do the same or else? The same offensive words you hear on the street you hear in your own home. Who wants to get beat up and then made to have sex with their mate.

The bible says, "If any man is in Christ he is a new creature, old things are passed away, behold all things are become new."

I am a new creature because I am in Christ and because I am in Christ I understand who I am and whose I am. I know my worth. I don't have to put up with anyone that can't, don't or won't love me like Christ love the church. I can be by myself knowing that I will not be alone. I understand that if I allow God to send me a mate I will not go wrong. Christ died for me so I can have life and life more abundantly not a life of depression and constant pain. I don't have to stay in situations that are not in line with Gods will for my life. The old me is dead and gone therefore I will not accept anything that is in opposition of Gods word for my life. YOU don't have to stay!
