I was raised in a family with difficult circumstances, so I left home at the age of 17
Until the age of 22 I did what I had to do in order survive, needless at that time my faith in the lord was not strong.
I worked a lot, was very lonely and met all the wrong men.
I am ashamed to admit I've done a lot of sins, I would not blame the men I met because it was my responsibly to protect my body and soul, but I was young and felt abandoned by everyone - my parents, my friends and god as well.

When I turned 22 I met a guy, the best guy I ever met, he showed me the way, showed me how real love should look like, explained to me that a'll I've been through was a test from God, that God is strongest for us in our most difficult moments, today I'm in such different place in my life thanks to him, thanks to Jesus.

Just sometimes it is hard for me to believe that God will forgive me after all my sins, I want to be a good wife and mother and I pray every day God will give me strength to do that

God WILL forgive you and if you have already confessed, its already done.

He has made you a new creature, the old has passed away.

Each day is filled with God's precious and new mercies and YOU are redeemed!  Go out in joy and be lead forth in peace.

Its not that God WILL forgive you, but that he already HAS. Jesus took all those sins on Himself when He died, just as He did with my sins and other peoples sins. They are past, forgotten and wiped away. Its only you who are still punishing yourself, as if the death of Jesus wasnt enough. Did you know that even a serial killer can be forgiven if he repents?
Let it go, move forward as a free woman, and enjoy your family. Its what God wants for you.

It's a great and wonderful truth to remember, that when Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected, ALL of your sins were in the future.

Enjoy your marriage and your life in full confidence that God will give you all the blessings of it.
