My healing journey has been long and continues to this day, but I am gradually finding freedom. I now believe the truth I was too hurt to accept for so many years—the truth that my guarded heart wouldn’t allow to enter.
I have finally started to believe that I am loved, free, and forgiven. God sees me, with all my flaws, and still calls me His beloved daughter.
Only recently have I felt that God is truly real to me.
The trauma I endured as a child and teenager still affects me, but each day, as I invite God into my heart, those effects lessen.
I understand now that the people who hurt me were struggling with deep sin and evil in their hearts. Through God, I found the strength to forgive them—not because they deserved it, but because I did.
I am only beginning to grasp the depth of Christ’s love and grace for me. However, I still have work to do. I will always be a work in progress, never fully able to fathom and understand God’s ways in this life, no matter how much I study and pray.
With a full heart, I will pursue Christ and His ways all my life. It is only through His love that I have found healing and peace. His grace was, and is, sufficient to cover me, redeem me, and use me for His glory.
