At Hearts for Christ Ministries it is our desire to minister to the whole woman. This includes those women of faith who may have been abused either as children or adults. This section is for you. Our hope is to make available several scriptural references which will bring you encouragement, prayers for the abused by those who can relate to your situations, and offers of books dealing with the subject matter at hand. Please know that our hearts are with you as many of us have been where you are today. And God can deliver and is always here for you. God bless you. We love you in Jesus.

"All Things Considered" Our past it does not matter God takes us as his own He holds us to his breast And casts away the flinging stone Our past may speak of trouble He's forgotten it today His home is always open And he won't turn us away All things must be considered For no one's without sin The Lord and all his love Just simply draws his line again Letters, Prayers, and Encouragement "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." John 8:7 Victory thru Scripture "For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall." Isaiah 25:4 (Thank you God -- for you are my refuge and my shadow. You are there for me today and always!) And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 (Sent in by our sweet sister Rowena) "For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins. Thou has caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place. I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows, which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul. I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me."
