Before this study, I had a lot of shame. I had secrets and could not let go. As I studied, I learned that our God is a forgiving God. I was able to see how others (in the Bible) were also sinners and were saved. This helped me be honest and open and surrender to the Lord. A lot of reading God's word, praying, and encouragement from my counselor has helped free me. The Lord healed my wounds. I have been shown grace, mercy, and love. Praise God!!
