Thank God that our childhoods does not have to determine our adulthoods. Christ can take away all the influences from our childhoods from our lives. I was taught to hate everyone. I was hated. I was beaten. I was sexually abused. I was told by my parents that they wished I had never been born. I was taught racism. I could have become what I was taught and I really should have, statistically. However, the Lord made me a new creature in Him. He healed all those places of hurt. He taught me His ways to replace my childhood ways. All things have become new; the old has passed away. The cycle has been broken. Hallelujah! God will do the same for anyone who asks Him. I pray God's richest blessings upon you!

Amen sister. I was taught predjudice. If I met a nice black lady, asian lady, mexican lady, etc. and she was good to me and my daughter and she was a Christian I would cherish her no matter what race she was. We are all God's children and he loves us all.

Sincerely,

John

I have been in a similar place and I am grateful for the fact that he has washed away all the dark in my past and has given me a future with Him.

In church today we sang a song that featured this chorus and it struck me and made me cry..I was struck to write it down and keep it...so I will share it with you and I hope you enjoy the words.

I am free to give
I am free to live
I am free to rest in You
I am free to forgive
I am free to Trust
I am free to rest in You

It felt so good to know that we are set free of the bonds of hate, hurt, anger & distrust of our past and we are free to let people into our world and love them and trust them with Gods peace.

May God bless and keep you!
