How has God and His grace helped you work through the effects of your past?
First, what are the “effects” of my past? It was my life going in so many different directions and really having no meaning that would benefit me later on. It would be to do things my way which didn’t lead anywhere. It was my own thoughts and opinions that held no substance. It would be seeing the fault in others but not in myself. I had despair, loneliness, hopelessness, depression and more.
Because of God’s grace, I first became humble, because I was let in to see the core of my being. I then saw special points through my life that I knew when God was there and I believed, but I still didn’t know who God was. With Him, I gained a life, an anew one that gave me everything opposite of what I had before. I had felt like I finally had a reason to be alive. Not because I earned it but because God is merciful and loves me in a way I may never fully understand.
Oh, how God is so wonderful. Amen

Thanks so much for sharing, mizroby. It sounds like you’ve truly experienced the transformation in Jesus that Paul wrote about: “Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

I was abused as a child by my mother. Growing up, I turned to illegal drugs and shoplifting, blaming my mother. We went 17 years without speaking. Finally, in April 2012, after being sick of everything, I called up my mother and finally forgave her. Since then we’ve grown close and I’m out of illegal activity. All thanks to God.

The grace of God has not only saved me but delivered me from immoral behaviours, indiscrimination and religiously pretence. It has given me a clear conscience to live at peace with God & man. Thank God for His gifts and fruit manifesting. Thank God for His grace.
