Shalom beloveds
Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty I am free at last! Six years ago this was ringing loudly in my heart, as loudly as the abuse was. Freedom Day is not just the day our country was officially freed from oppression, colonialism and apartheid, but it’s also a day I was freed from the longest abusive and toxic relationship I was in. Today marks 6 years since I left a 5+ year relationship. On the 27th April 2017 I woke up next to the man who abused me for so many years, the man whom, despite his cruelty, I had loved for the longest time of my life and for whom I had sacrificed so much for.
At the time we were living together and the night before I broke up with him, God spoke to me and told me about the future of this relationship, and how it would destroy me. I decided to end our relationship. I woke up with a new mindset and free from the relational bondage I had with him. I got up, got dressed, took myself out, got a little single flower tattoo (to commemorate my freedom), then visited my parents and asked them if I could move back home the following weekend (which was 2 days later). I knew I needed to leave and that there was no future with this man.
I look back and it was only through God’s divine intervention that I made it through and to this point. After I gave my heart to Jesus in February 2017, He has been calling me closer to Him. It hasn’t been easy, in fact, leaving my old life was one of the hardest decisions I’ve had to make and as I moved forward I made many more mistakes thereafter, but I am still healing bit by bit. I am still growing AND glowing through this process of becoming all that YHWH has created me to be. I hope that whoever reads this will be blessed and motivated to leave abusive relationships and PUSH THROUGH. Dear beloved, Yeshua loves you like no other and you deserve to be treated with genuine kindness and love.
Thank you for reading, till next time…
Peace and blessings in Yeshua.
