When I first talked to someone from Healing Hearts Ministries about my desire to go through the Hem of His Garment Bible Study, she told me that I would be HEALED through this study. Those were exciting words to my ears, though I wondered how she could be so sure. So just in case she knew something that I didn't, I threw myself into this Bible Study. I could HARDLY WAIT to work on it each day. At 64 years of age, and much good Christian counseling and prayers through the years, I still had not found relief from my deep emotional needs. I had looked to my husband to provide these, most of which only God could fill. Somehow the questions and the Scripture selections in this study were designed to get to the root of my pain and my sin issues. Sins that I was not even aware that I was harboring. The Holy Spirit revealed my heart to me, and I didn't like the anger and the unforgiveness that lurked in there. As I spent time in this study, in the Word, and especially during intimate times with Jesus that had been lacking in my walk, I experienced God's love for me. I understood what He wanted me to do, what steps He wanted me to take. Having an online mentor who was committed to my success was amazing. Soon I loved her and prayed for her, and looked forward to reading every comment she made, usually several times. I sincerely believe that God orchestrated every part of this blessing for me, from the author of the study, to the timing in my life when I would discover it, to the selection of my dear mentor who was never shocked at anything I shared with her. In grateful summary, I can put this testimony into one sentence: No matter how impossible our life's challenges may appear to us, we can still do ALL THINGS through Christ Who strengthens us! Because with God, all things are possible. But to defeat the impossible, we must follow His lead, and obey Him. He loves us so much!
