Deeply wounded

I was deeply wounded in my first marriage by my husband's repeated adultery, deceit, and criminal activity, much of which I suspected but could not prove until ten years after things appeared wrong. Even though God rescued me from that marriage and terrifying life and gave me a godly husband, I still suffered from nightmares about my first husband. Every time he called, I trembled. There were other relationships that hurt me, too, some of which I was unaware of until I went through this study. Because of Jesus' work on the cross, I became profoundly aware that I could forgive the people who have hurt me and that I could really be like Jesus. This was freeing! The healing of deep wounds occurred through this Bible study and the prayers of my counselor and others who prayed for me.
