Honour means “beauty, majesty, brilliancy, preciousness, weight or heaviness”.
To each sexual abuse victim, God gives you honour ! (of course, if you accept it and receive it). God says you are precious. You have not been forgotten…
But it starts with His glory and honour first. Here is the first time the word “honour” is mentioned in the bible…
Honor and majesty are before Him;
Strength and gladness are in His place. (1 Chronicles 16:27 NKJV)
Some more about the Source of our honour (God)…
For You have made him a little lower than the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor. (Psalm 8:5 NKJV)
For the Lord takes pleasure in His people;
He will beautify the humble with salvation. To execute on them the written judgment—
This honor have all His saints.
Praise the Lord! (Psalm 149:4, 9 NKJV)
Strength and honor are her clothing;
She shall rejoice in time to come. (Proverbs 31:25 NKJV)
Honor and majesty are before Him;
Strength and gladness are in His place. (1 Chronicles 16:27 NKJV)
Now, let’s love the source of our Honour Himself…
Lord, I have loved the habitation of Your house,
And the place where Your glory dwells. (Psalm 26:8 NKJV)
Now we can know honour in our emotions because Honour Himself, honours us !…
A man’s pride will bring him low,
But the humble in spirit will retain honor. (Proverbs 29:23 NKJV
By humility and the fear of the Lord
Are riches and honor and life. (Proverbs 22:4 NKJV)
How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from the only God? (John 5:44 NKJV)
Jesus answered, “If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God. (John 8:54 NKJV)
but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. (Romans 2:10 NKJV)
As He says also in Hosea:
“I will call them My people, who were not My people,
And her beloved, who was not beloved.” (Romans 9:25 NKJV)
Finally, a scripture about how God gives honour to those “parts” which have been dishonoured….
And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty, but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, (1 Corinthians 12:23, 24 NKJV)
God gives greater honour to all who have been dishonoured !.
Let this be the truth that replaces those emotions that have hurt so much…
