When I started this study, I was hoping my heart could be healed from my past hurts, specifically sexual abuse as a child, chronic perfectionism and insecurity, and depression and anxiety. I do believe this study has helped heal me, not through some sort of epiphany, but through small steps of gaining knowledge and understanding. I have gained so much wonderful knowledge about who God is, what Jesus went through on his way to the cross, true forgiveness, the need for daily repentance, and God's design for sexual intimacy. Each truth I have learned has been like one piece of the puzzle, which I am slowly putting together to form a complete picture of what my life looks like when I'm living in God's will and not my own.
