A woman's story · The Hem of His Garment

God restores

When I began this study, I didn’t fully realize how much I still needed healing. I thought I had dealt with many of the wounds from my past: my divorce, past choices, shame.

God used this study to gently show me areas I had buried, avoided, or tried to fix on my own. This journey was not always easy. At times, I felt exposed or even defensive. But God, in His mercy, kept drawing me in, reminding me that He doesn’t shame, He restores. Through His Word, I learned to take responsibility for where I had fallen short, to release bitterness, and most importantly, to receive His grace in a deeper way than ever before. One of the biggest shifts for me was recognizing how often I had looked to people for validation instead of leaning fully on the Lord. Through this study, I’ve learned to seek His approval first, to let His truth be my anchor, and to walk in the freedom that comes from being fully known and still deeply loved. I am not the same woman who began this study. I am more grounded, more softened, and more in awe of God’s patience and love for me.

I’m so grateful for Healing Hearts and for the women who serve so faithfully. This ministry truly made a difference in my life.
