Publisher's Synopsis
By definition, a victim is a person who has had a wrong done to them. The action was outside of their control. They are powerless to help themselves. Being a victim may leave you in a state of hopelessness, confusion and vulnerability. Without the tools to overcome these feelings, a person in this state will take on a "victim mentality" as a means to attempt to either withdraw from life, or create a false defense against further hurt and disappointment. Unfortunately, it usually leads to more hurt, isolation, and victimization. Sometimes the wrongs against us are very real. Jesus has the final word on all things. When we live as an overcomer, it begins by trusting in Jesus and in His love for us. That has to be our foundation. This does not mean that it is easy to walk in faith and walk in love, but it is what we have been called to do, and God through His Spirit in us helps us every step of the way.
