6 years ago, I agreed to try life the Lord's way, instead of my own. I had been living from one relationship to the next, and striving to find love and acceptance from a man. Christ gave me a peace I had never known. I experienced victory from a destructive relationship that had plagued me for years and I fell in love with a Savior that would go through any means possible to rescue me from death. Despite confidence in my salvation through Jesus Christ, the hurt and regret from past sin still made itself known almost daily. I lived either trying to forget, or rationalizing that it wasn't as bad as I was making it out to be. I hated myself, and inwardly struggled to live a life of perfection at work, home, with friends and family. The Hem of His Garment challenged me to push through every barrier I had built up to portray myself in a positive light. I could no longer settle for thinking the way I once did. Christ's sacrifice was not only sufficient for my salvation, but with it came life, and life abundantly. The study showed me where I was settling to live with bitterness, anger, jealously, regret, and through God's Word, gave me strength and hope to respond obediently. This study has transformed my relationship with the Lord, others, and how I view myself. Thank you!!!
