You Matter

One of the most devastating results of childhood sexual abuse and trauma is that you are taught over and over again that you do not matter. You are an object and of no worth. This is not true. Therefore one of the most important parts of the healing process is learning that in fact you Do matter.

Elder Uchtdorf reminds us that we matter!!

"My dear brothers and sisters, it may be true that man is nothing in comparison to the greatness of the universe. At times we may even feel insignificant, invisible, alone, or forgotten. But always remember—you matter to Him
"Please understand that what you see and experience now is not what forever will be. You will not feel loneliness, sorrow, pain, or discouragement forever. We have the faithful promise of God that He will neither forget nor forsake those who incline their hearts to Him. Have hope and faith in that promise. Learn to love your Heavenly Father and become His disciple in word and in deed. 
Be assured that if you but hold on, believe in Him, and remain faithful in keeping the commandments, one day you will experience for yourselves the promises revealed to the Apostle Paul: “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”-Elder Uchtdorf (You Matter to Him, Ensign Oct 2011)
