This October, I wanted to acknowledge Domestic Violence Awareness Month because as a child of GOD I feel that it is my duty and responsibility to offer my encouragement, prayers, and help to those who are silently suffering from domestic violence. To those who are not able to find peace, even in their very own homes, there is hope, and there is help. GOD can deliver you in your darkest hour. These are not empty words, but truth from experience dear friends - Hebrews Ch13:6; Husbands love your wives - Colossians Ch3:19; Ephesians Ch5:24 - 28;
Parents love your children - Matthew Ch18:5-6;
Psalm 127:3; Love one another - John Ch13:34.

Ace Williams shares a story & song with an important message: PROTECT OUR CHILDREN
Growing up in the ”hood” I’ve witnessed insurmountable things that a child should never witness. By the age of 3, I’ve witnessed extreme violence, sexual inappropriate behavior, and experienced psychological abuse. As a parent, I believe that the innocence of a child should and must be protected at all costs.
Jesus Christ preached this truth 2000 years ago when HE said “receive the children in HIS name…” Matthew Ch.17:5-6, Mark Ch.9:36-37, Luke Ch.18:15-17. In the book of Psalms, it says that “children are from the LORD” *Psalms Ch. 127:3. Proverbs Ch. 22:6 says to “train up a child in the way they ‘should’ go…” **Ephesians Ch.6:4.
Because of these biblical truths I believe that it incumbent on everyone to acknowledge and act against child abuse and child endangerment in our society. Even Jesus Christ understands and teaches the importance of child development. Children and young people are not always empowered to help and defend themselves. It takes a community. This begins with the people of GOD because ’we’ are “the light of the world and the salt of the earth”. Matthew Ch. 5:13-16. Turn Victims in to Victors. Hebrews Ch.13:5-6.
For victims of child abuse, please know there is help via the following resources.
