God loves me and always has

This Bible study has impacted my life by showing me how God loves me and He has always loved me. He has always had a plan for my life even though I was going through some pretty dark times and didn’t realize He was always on my side.

This study showed me that there is also people willing to go the extra mile for me as well, like Karen, my counselor. She is kind enough to walk this study out with me and encourage me when I wanted to give up on my marriage and also my family. She deserves a medal for bravery for taking on people like me and my trash each time she goes through this study with someone new.

I learned/remembered that Jesus suffered so much so I could be where I am today and could have salvation. I also learned/remembered that there are other people in the Bible who suffered almost the same abuse that I did from family members. I also learned how damaging bitterness is in your body, mind, and heart. I learned that I can move forward with my life and not be stuck where I was in grief and guilt for years on end. I actually am forgiven and I am free enough to forgive the damage done to me. I don’t have to hold on to it anymore. I can give to to God because I was never meant to carry that burden around, mine was becoming too heavy.
