I thought I knew God's word, but many parts had just become words. This study has brought them alive and His word has brought sustenance and freedom and power and forgiveness. I had begun to feel alone, abandoned, but God has never left me. I had left me. This study has shown me that His words, His scriptures, are as alive, as He is. I feel that parts of me that were dead have been resurrected. There is a freedom that comes with that. The biggest impact has been my misperception of self-forgiveness. I've been running on a hamster wheel for so long and all I needed to do was accept the fact that God had forgiven me. Done. His grace in enough.
