The darkness was intense. The eerie soundless space was unnerving. It was as if all living things had disappeared. I found myself drowning in a pit of sadness and loneliness for over 730 days of pure torment. This place of depression had stolen my life as I once knew it and there was nothing that I could do.
As unbearable as it was at the time, I wouldn’t change anything; because out of my pit of despair came life. When God delivered me from the shame and pain of the place I found myself in, I was different. I was not the same anymore.
He showed me that through this process, although painful, made me useful for His purpose. Once healed I am able to share my story with other hurting women and help them on their journey to wholeness. I found my “true” self.
Now I have hope and purpose! I have the understanding of who I really am and whose I am. I no longer have to conform to the people or situations around me that pull out all of my good for their own purposes. And leave me empty and useless to myself and God.
God I am grateful for losing my worldly self to find my “true” worthy self in you.
It is true it is a process and your journey might not look exactly like mine, but nonetheless it is a process for whatever you are going through. But you must: 1. embrace your journey, 2. self-discovery – understand your role in the mess of your life, 3. seek your worth from the one who made you (God), 4. repent and change by building a new relationship with God 5. understand and pursue your purpose.
