Domestic Violence is an unfortunate reality for too many. It can be emotional, physical, financial, sexual, verbal or psychological abuse by any member of one’s immediate family or intimate relationship. The very relationships intended to establish trust and love become the relationships that individuals learn to fear.   Just as God longs to be in relationship with us, God also longs for our earthly relationships to reflect the pure love God has for us.  

Verse for Meditation: Jeremiah 22:3

Action: Because this topic is often ignored and hidden, take some time today to educate yourself about this issue (https://ncadv.org/blog/posts/remember-my-name-a-brief-history).  As you read about real people who experience life through a lens of fear, invite God into these places, that these individuals might find hope and strength through their situation.
