When I look in the mirror..

Through this study I saw truth; truth of who I really was, and truth of who God really is. I was an insecure girl who was simply existing. Abused as a child I kept my mouth shut. In my heart I grew bitter and angry, abusing myself and only wanting to die.

Having the study online, I could be completely and brutally honest, no manipulation as it could've been if done face to face.

I always doubted if God would ever heal me from all my hurts, but when I committed myself to the healing process, Jesus met me. He healed my wounds and turned them to scars, as proof of where I've been and where I am now.

I finally understand that God loves me and that I truly am His daughter! I have forgiven my abuser and have learned to love. My security is in Christ, and if He is for me, who can be against me?

When I look in the mirror, I don't see the wounds or the hurts, I see Jesus reflecting back at me. I see the cross and the precious blood that purchased me. I am His!
