This exercise has made me more aware that healing comes from an intimate relationship with Jesus and that comes from learning the word and what He says about me through it. I have, for most of my life, thought that acceptance came from performance and receiving positive affirmation from others. In the past few years I have spent time in the inner healing process, with the Village of Hope, fixing the broken inner child within, who was hurt and felt unloved. Jesus has shown me where he has saved me many times from myself and others. My relationship with Jesus through learning the word, and being in community, has shown me that He made me right, right from the beginning and that I only need his approval.
