Sometimes things can happen in your life that make you feel that innocence was stolen from your youth. It doesn't always have to be sexual abuse that causes this old pain - sometimes it is seeing something or hearing something you were too young to handle.
While innocence can never be returned in a certain area of your personal development, God is yet a healer and a restorer of stolen things. But you have to see Him in that vein. You have to want God to be the restorer of every breach in your life. And He will be just that.
If you feel that innocence has been stolen and you are stuck in an adult memory that causes you to feel that you were bent in the wrong direction, why not try giving that private pain to Jesus? The world celebrates the victory that comes from people who are underdogs but who survive what should have destroyed them. Jesus wants you to have more than that. He wants you to have a victory that overcomes the world - and become a conqueror in Him. Let me leave you with this final assurance - you don't have to live with the painful sense of lost innocence - God wants to heal every void in your heart and in your memory!
