So blessed to complete it

This Bible study came just in the nick of time. I was suffering in so many ways. I was in a deep & disturbing depression fueled by uncontrollable anxiety. God was sending me a wake up call. Every time I thought of myself I would say "I hate me!", what a terrible thing to say, right? Well that is how I felt at the time.

Every time I would sink into this depression the abortion I had 20 years ago would come to the front of my thoughts and I would think, this is why I am being punished - because I am a terrible person. This Bible study made me open up and look at all the events that led up to my decision to have an abortion but it also made me look at other circumstances in my life and see everything for what it was. Well I confirmed I was indeed a sinner! The great news is, I am also a child of God and Jesus Christ is my saviour!

So week by week I read the chapters and gained the understanding of just how wonderful the forgiveness Jesus makes available to all of us is. Guess what I had to stop being angry with me because if God sees fit to forgive me, who the heck did I think I was holding onto the anger I had towards myself. So for the last time, I asked him to forgive me for this terrible thing I did and a tremendous weight was lifted off my shoulders, but even more amazing was the enlightenment that filled so many other aspects of my life (my past hurts, my failed marriage, issues with relationships, envy of others, anger towards others, the list goes on and on). This experience has been truly life changing and I am truly blessed to have been able to complete this Bible study! Praise the Lord. Deb - Thanks for being with me every step of the! way!
