What Healing Scripture has helped you the Most?
Bruised But not Broken... For five years(since I was 17) I endured a very unhealthy relationship with a guy. He started out sweet and outgoing and then turned into this completely different person. He began to talk to me like I was worth nothing short of a penny. Then he started pushing, pushing went to shoving and shoving went to hitting. I was young and I dont know why i even stayed. Then he was unfaithful and began using drugs and alcohol as an escape from himself. Then more abuse. And I was stupid enough to keep taking it. Then I got pregnant, but told nobody, not even him. One night, we were at somebody elses house and got into an argument. He picked me up and threw me into the wall...three weeks later, i miscarried. I was 3 months along. Did not tell anybody. It was a very rough time, but I made it through. Then in November of 2008, I decided I had had enough of this. I put everything in my life on hold thinking maybe just maybe this guy would change and be the man I knew he could be. And so, I left him. There were threats but I stayed firm and a month later he was taken to prison, for distribution charges. I joined a gym and hired a personal trainer to help me strengthen myself physically so that I would never have to worry about anybody hurting me again. One day, I was running before boxing and I started hemmhoraging. I made an appointment for the Gyno. Had a bunch of tests ran...two weeks I got the call..."Miss Cooper, you have High Risk HPV, which can cause cervical cancer." I freaked out. Went in for a biopsy. Had two done...When the third round of results came back, I was told that I needed surgery to remove these cancer cells and to start a treatment. So the day after my 23rd birthday (may 7th 2009) I underwent surgery....I was on complete bedrest so you betcha I was in my WORD 24/7. While reading, I came upon a scripture....and it is by far my favorite scripture. Isaiah 43:18,19: "Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing. Now, it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? i will even make a road in the wilderness AND rivers in the desert." And I hold tight to this scripture. If you have been through anything that compromised who you were and bruised you mentally or physically, read this scripture and feel its truth. God will make a way when there seems to be no way at all. That is my story. I used to feel sorry for myself...but I feel at peace with myself because that was the past and I am growing stronger and smarter for the future....stay in the word and stay in good faith.
