"I don't have to have it all together, I just have to know the one who put it all together. He does not want perfection out of me, He just simply wants me because I was made perfect in Him."
"I don't have to have it all together, I just have to know the one who put it all together. He does not want perfection out of me, He just simply wants me because I was made perfect in Him."
"Before Mercy, I thought God could not love someone like me, and that my actions determined if He loved me or not. I now know that my God is the ultimate comforter, counselor, and friend, and that in His presence I am safe."
"God showed me what areas I needed to surrender to Him. He has taught me I was never a mistake."
"To the donors, God bless you for all of your support work and prayers. Because of your blessings, God has changed my life and I can live and serve Him zealously."
"God has restored my innocence, renewed my mind, shown me true love, held my hand during the whole process, and showed me what forgiveness looks like, and helped me to do it."
At Mercy, I learned to press into the Lord and I learned to be okay with the process. God showed me who I am and who I am not.
To the donors, thank you for your obedience that has allowed me to begin my journey of walking out my faith and living my best life through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior.
I decided to apply because I had given up on everything else. While at Mercy, God has given me freedom from anger, sadness, and self-hate.
God has freed me from the lie that I have no control over myself or my life, and He has shown me how to take authority over the lies of the enemy by speaking scripture out loud and commanding him to flee in Jesus' name.
God has not only revealed Himself to me as my loving Father, but His word has broken many of the lies I've believed for a long time.
At Mercy, God has shown me His character and how much He was working even when I thought I was alone and forgotten.
"While at Mercy, God has shown me who He truly is, and who I am in Him. I learned that I am loved and chosen by God and that He will never leave me or give up on me."
