Vicki Duffy, born in 1968 in Pennsylvania, had a long claw of fate. She was molested by a male acquaintance of her mother at age five, physically and brutally abused by her elder brother from ages seven to 17, and compromised twice by an uncle at age 19. These violent and depraved abuses led her to a self- destructive behaviour, a life of utter confusion and feelings of great inadequacy. By age 25, she had injured her body through cutting and burning. She had over 250 scars from burns and cutting. One Sunday in March, 1995, she got some help. Somebody invited her to a church. For over 15 years, she had not attended any church. She was not quite sure about her spiritual beliefs, as she spent most of her life blaming God or questioning Him. But the moment she stepped into the church, she sensed something different. She asked God to make Himself real in her life. Consequently, she gave her life to Christ. Since then, she became more peaceful and able to think clearly.
With God’s help, she forgave all her tormentors and became a living testimony. She got completely healed, recovered and triumphant in every area. In April, 1999, she got married to a wonderful Christian man.
Many have found themselves in a similar situation like Duffy. There is trouble on every side. People reproached them, assulting and harrassing them unduely. They are actually in a dungeon of despair. Determination to get out of such situation is the first step to all round restoration.
