Beverley Walters - Surviving Human Trafficking

Beverley Walters - Surviving Human Trafficking

Beverley Walters is my guest today and she shared her life experience on why participating in human trafficking would even seem like a realistic option. Most interesting to me is how she found the courage to walk away and seek a new identity. 

Beverley’s trauma started early in life. The people she was entrusted to did more than let her down they gave her an identity that would set her up for the decisions she would make as she tried to provide for herself. 

So when she showed up for a job interview and at one point they request she take her clothes off I imagine it didn’t seem out of place to be violated yet again. This gateway to human trafficking was not a far reach for an orphan heart, with no voice, no worth and the identity of a ghost. 

As I share that, I’m reminded why God tells us not to judge but to love. For only God knows the depths of a heart that has been continually abused, has no understanding of love and is filled with vengeance. 

Beverely's heart is to reach the one who is suffering in silence. The one who thinks there’s no way to overcome this.  There’s no way out. God doesn’t love me. I’ve done some horrible things. I’ve gone too far for anyone to love me. 

"Not so," says Beverley. 

What Beverley left me with and I hope you receive it too, is that she no longer identifies with her past.

God is the center of her life. She no longer identifies with her old life but instead has fully embraced who God says she is to Him. Claiming what Christ did on the cross for her. She has chosen to put on God’s extravagant love for her. 

Beverley has discovered that God is not mad with her but rather He’s madly in love with her.

May we all grasp that today so that we might Live Loved and Thrive! @alifofthrive.com
