Hi Denise and welcome to Oasis!
I just wanted to say that you dont have to live deep hurts...all the things we go through in this life can and will be used by the Lord to reach someone else who's gone through some of the things you've gone through....giving them the same hope we've found through healing in Jesus. I want to offer an invitation to you...here's the link....
http://www.christianityoasis.com/cccc/forum.htmIve seen many, many lives changed through this study.....the Holy Spirit guides step by step, day by day, to reveal, heal and pluck out those things that have hurt us....A lot of times we think that because we are Christians, because we are saved, we don't need counseling....but let me tell ya...I believe Christians need it daily. We have an enemy who attacks us subtly...planting lies and hurts so deeply within, they become a part of who we think we are....and God wants to heal those areas and bring about testimony of His healing Grace...
You won't walk alone...let Him show you.
Im praying for you as so many others here are. Again, welcome to Oasis..you weren't led here by accident.
In Jesus,
love momo
