clinging to past hurts

I believe this study was necessary for me to do because it has opened up a path to the healing that I have desperately needed for my life.

I come from years and years of clinging to past hurts and trauma that was caused early on in my childhood and through my adult life. Sexual abuse, verbal and mental abuse, cheating and rape all at the hands of close people who should have protected me. Instead this led me down a promiscuous past where I sought my worth in the world and stunted my connection with the Lord.

It was through this study that I learned what I actually was allowed to be angry about. I also learned about not only accepting God’s forgiveness for me - but extending it to others. This is a key to learning and knowing how to trust God, knowing Him in a much deeper way - one I have longed for my whole life. I may not be fully healed, but I believe wholeheartedly that the Lord will be faithful to complete His good work in me.
