Do you find it difficult to explain everything you’re feeling about your circumstances, your disappointments, and the dreams that have taken far too long to materialize? Truly, who could put words to all the emotions that rise up within you?
Yet there is One who understands every bit of your anguish. Jesus came to earth to experience what you’re feeling and to understand your inner struggles. Because of His perfect wisdom concerning you, Jesus knows exactly how to restore your heart and comfort your soul. So don’t be afraid that no one understands what you’re going through . Jesus does. Today turn to Him and allow Him to heal your wounded heart with His love.
God, thank You for understanding me and healing me with your love. I’m so thankful that you comprehend the things for which there are no words. Amen. Written by Bethany House Publishing “Moments of Peace in the Presence of God”

This one has me ready to cry right here on the spot…I have spent my entire life trying to be accepted…to be liked…to fit in.
I started having sex at the age of 15 because I thought it was the only way a man would look at me….I mean who was I? I even had the body so to speak back then but didn’t know anything about being anything or anyone…does that make sense?
I spent the next 35 years trying to see or be or pretend to know who I was.
When I first got saved…the church family I had meant more to me than my natural one because I had been disowned for leaving the Catholic faith….disinherited…the whole nine yards….I foiund my brothers and sisters in the Lord were willing to go the extra mile…help…give….be….and for them I will always be thankful….
I learned they accepted me for just me….I didn’t have facades that I had to present all the time….I had never felt that way ever…where my “real” family had let me down numerous times…they didn’t…
When I backslid for a man…I thought I could never make it without one…that is the one thing I help back from God…….I thought I would only be gone for a few months..until I got him “back” to God….it took me 3 long years and a lot of trials to finally realize he wouldn’t come back because of me….but because the Holy Spirit was calling him…
So I rededicated and he did come back…..for a season…….but I had learned my lesson or so I thought…I stayed active in the church and watched him backslide again….and again….then when we split….I backslid real bad….
When the bible says that God sweeps the house clean…and then when we go back to sin….seven times more demons come inhabit our “body”…He knew what He was talking about…..my life went downhill….way down…..sins of the flesh came at me from all sides….my promiscuity was more thant seven times worse……the same thoughts of worthlessness and shame were back…..so sex and drugs were what I tried to cover them up with…..stay high…..seek the next man and see if he is the one who will love you for who you really are….
This continued for about 6 long years…why God never let me get raped or killed or dismembered or racked with disease….I do not know…I deserved it but He is a merciful God…….I walked away with only genital herpes……is God good even when we are bad…Yes He Is!
I got so low I had no one else to turn to….so I came home to Jesus! The walk has not been easy but in some ways it has been easier…I have counted the cost and I know what I have to do to stay saved…I know I cannot even think about my past lifestyle without shuddering and thanking God over and over again for His grace…His unmerited favor on me…undeserving me…why does He love me so much…who am I that He would die on the cross for???
I have come to the conclusion that I don’t have very many of the answers but He does so I trust myself to Him and pray everyday that He never leave me….which He really never did for I am the one who had left HIM!
I am loved by God and Jesus loves me more than I can ever imagine….I will never ever leave again….if no one on this earth ever loves me it does not matter….as long as He does.
No sin is unforgivable….no person is unlovable….no mistake is unfixable…Jesus is real and alive in me…and He is in you too…..call on Him and He will always answer!AND ACCEPT YOU JUST AS YOU ARE!!!
