I was divorced a couple years ago after being married for 24 years and it was one of the darkest seasons of my life. At the conference, I felt the Lord prompting me to forgive my former husband. This was no easy request as he was the “tough boy” and I was the co-dependent one in our marriage. Through the drama on transference, I realized what a major part this had played in our marriage. This actually helped me make the choice to forgive because I could see past the blaming. I wrote his name on a sheet of paper and nailed it to the cross. As I went back to my seat I began to feel completely exposed, vulnerable, and a little fearful. I talked to the Lord and asked Him to be my protection as I was no longer protecting myself with unforgiveness. I continue to ask God daily to help me keep forgiving as the need arises as I know this is not a one-time occurrence.
The other part of the conference that had a big impact on me was God’s extravagant mercy. I saw how often I betray God by choosing my way or ignoring Him. Over and over I felt the mercy of God for myself and for His people in a deep way that I haven’t felt in the past. The last drama where many came and dropped their baggage off at the cross was beautiful. Again I felt the boundless mercy of God.
I’d like to give a huge thank you to all who played a part in putting on this conference…your efforts will be seen for an eternity!
