It's not a fact of having moments shape us that have made us strong. Having something happen to you wether it be mentally scaring or physically scaring doesn't make you any stronger.

God has taught me how to forgive those who have hurt me. It was God who gave me my confidant and my best friend that I am able to go to. God gave me a story to share with others and not to keep it in. He gave me scars to be remember by what others have done to me isn't what defines me as me. It's taught me to not drowned in my own sorrow and sadness but to have The Lord pull me out of the wreckage by his grace and power. The Lord didn't make me weak for me to have something happen to me in order for me to become stronger. God gave me a new heart and new eyes for me to see him and not my flaw created by another. He gave me new sight for me to continue to want to push closer and closer to Him.

I am healed and I am rebirth'd through Gods eyes, I am a child of God and I am a servant to His amazing mission. I Am Healed a song written by River Valley Church Worship Team, speaks to how strength comes from God. The lyrics spill hope of preaching, darkness, chaos, sickness you have no power here. I am healed, I know I am. How does one not believe in Gods power, when even through the bible He is willing to show you Himself all he can do.

"Lord my God I called to you for help and you healed me." Psalm 30:2

"I have heard your prayer and seen your tears, I will heal you." 2 Kings 20:5

"By His wounds you are healed." 1 Peter 2:24

"The prayer offered by faith will make the sick person well. The Lord will raise them up."James 5:15

"He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds." Psalm 147:3

I found peace and reassurance with The Lord that I don't need alcohol or another being or an item of something for me to be happy, because I have seen all that He has done for me without those things. I am desperate for God and everyday have the urge for more and more of Him. For me to see Him working miracles in everyday life wether they be big or small and being able to share those with others is what makes me feel normal. In the world we live in now it is so easy to be caught up in everything around us, and through Christ I've planted my feet in well rich soil without fear of uncertainty.

"Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all that He has done." Phil 4:6

You see because God would never hurt His children. It's not about having something traumatic that makes you tougher or stronger.

It's Gods grace that made me stronger.
