Self Harm Tips For Self Harming Souls
Self Injury Treatment Path To Peace
Welcome back! I'm so glad that you decided to continue to keep going
with me!
You may feel that you are past Self Harm Prevention secrets. Okay, we will discuss the Spiritual essence of those words a little later. Let's talk more about this feeling and ideology that being a self injurer is part of who you are. Most of us who self harm, truly believe that. We feel like we've lost part or most of our true identity because self harm has become a huge part of our life.
What are some of the descriptions those who self harm use about
themselves?
used - broken - torn - stained - tainted - damaged - shattered -
unfixable - unnoticed - cold - heartless - lifeless - stupid - ugly -
fat - weak - garbage
Useless and Unworthy
God couldn't possibly use you for anything ... God? What does God
have to do with any of this? He has everything to do with it.
Simply because it was Him who made you.
Isaiah 49:1
... The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of
my mother hath he made mention of my name.
Psalms 139:13
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's
womb.
Genesis 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he
him; male and female created he them.

He created you in your mother's womb. He knew you before you were
even born. Weird, huh? It's like creating a piece of art ... Or a
writing a song ... You envision this finished masterpiece in
your head first. Then ... As you start working on it, you might tweak
it here and there ... Not because you messed up ... But because as
you work on it more and more ... You find ways to make it even better!
Self Harm Prevention Tidbit of Truth ... Art is not simply paint, canvas, and brushes. It's the story you can
see behind the finished piece of art.

melody, beat and passion you hear behind the composition.

you by hand.
Though you may have similarities to other people, there is not one
soul with the exact same anything as you.
- Your smile was designed specifically for you.
- Your laugh is unique.
- Your gifts and talents are God-given.
- Your personality is like no one else.

Self Harm Prevention Vow
No one can reach the people you can the exact same way. Some people
can only be reached and helped by you ... Because no one can
understand them, except you. You have the experiences to really
understand them. To really know how they feel.
God, You know our lives and You know us.
We're an open book to You; even from a distance, you know what we're thinking.
You know when we leave and when we get back; We're never out of Your sight.
You know everything we're going to say before we start the first sentence.
We look behind us and You're there, then up ahead and You're there, too--
Your reassuring presence is always with us.
Psalms 139:1-5
1 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou
understandest my thought afar off.
3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art
acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord,
thou knowest it altogether.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine
hand upon me.
You're Special
- You're special. In all the world there's nobody like you.
- Since the beginning of time there has never been another person like you.
- Nobody has your smile, nobody has your eyes, your nose, your hair, your hands, your voice.
- You're special. No one can be found who has your handwriting.
- Nobody anywhere has your tastes for food, clothing, music, or art.
- No one sees things just as you do.
- In all of time there's been no one who laughs like you, no one who
cries like you, and what makes you cry or laugh will never produce
identical laughter and tears from anybody else, ever.
- You're the only one in all of creation who has your set of abilities.
- Oh, there will always be somebody who is better at one of the things
you're good at, but no one in the universe can reach the quality of
your combination of talents, ideas, abilities and feelings. Like a
room full of musical instruments, some may excel alone, but none can
match the symphony sound when all are played together. You're a
symphony.
- Through all of eternity, no one will ever look, walk, talk, think or do like you.
- You're special ... You're rare.
- And in all rarity there is great value. Because of your great value
you need no attempt to imitate others ... You will accept--yes,
celebrate your differences.
- You're special and you're beginning to realize it's no accident that you're special.
- You're beginning to see that God made you special for a purpose.
- He must have a job for you that no one else can do as well as you.
- Out of billions of applicants, only one is qualified, only one has
the right combination of what it takes.
- That one is you, because ... You're special.

We were made and designed by the same God that created the world, the
universe, the stars, the birds ... Everything. He created us. For us

I'm a banger.
I'm an alcoholic.
I'm a purger.
I'm an addict.
Now ... We can have a different view of Self Harm. We are not those things. Not even one of them. We are a treasure in Christ. We are something special.
