I've seen the power behind allowing people to speak openly and honestly about their struggles. One individual comes to me each time the individual struggles with committing sexual sin against a child. I could easily refuse to listen and reject this person since I was a victim of sexual abuse myself. But, over the years, I often wonder if the man who sexual abused me had at least one mature person he could be transparent with, could that have spared me the years of pain, as well as other girls he later victimized?
The way I look at it, if I sincerely allow myself to listen to the sincere pleas for support by this individual, I have helped to prevent one, maybe several little boys or girls from becoming a victim.
Are we listening with the intent to help people to heal? Or, are our actions or reactions creating an atmosphere where more of our children will continue to be abused?
