I Am Free- the Healing Power of Forgiveness

You abused me physically and mentally, I thought you had my back totally. I was locked in a mental jail cell, our union together was a living hell. Your vicious attacks tarnished my self worth, that I constantly questioned my birth. You were a warden of mental abuse, I gave up on us, what was the use? When I finally got the strength to get up and leave , I sabotaged other relationships like you wouldn't believe . You remained the warden of my miserable life, and my life was nothing but misery and strife. I hated you right down to the core, my hatred for you was never a bore. Until someone shared the good news, of Jesus Christ , I had nothing to lose. He forgave me for all that I had done, I realised the victory was already won. I felt free and no longer bound, I was able to stand my ground . I had no choice but to forgive you , because I was no longer sad and blue. In that moment I became totally free, I want to share this with others like me. Inspired by the “Healing Power Of Forgiveness. Sponsor: Line Gauthier 10-29-17

Amen, my friend when Jesus dwells within there is a new love, peace and joy, to become a Child of God, and see it's the ungodly fighting against us, the unseen battle fighting over our soul, we were born in flesh all arel living in death , until reborn into the spirit of Christ: ). Born from a slave woman of bondage seeking to be born of the free woman of the spirit, May God bless, comfort, and fill you with His love, spirit, and joy in abundance
