Early childhood abuse set Carla Goff on a destructive path that would last into adulthood. She could not see it at the time, but God had a plan for her life all along.
It was only at counseling, several years later, where the word regret actually came out – not only did it come out, but I realized that regret was the core of who I was. I had believed every lie of the enemy and had sat down defeated. I truly believed that I had definitely missed any calling I might have had. But I was wrong – wrong about all of it. If you will come to God with your brokenness, He can repair you and make you brand new.
One night, she surrendered all to Christ and wept with brokenness, humility—and joy. The tears that burn so hot are also the tears that heal and sear shut regret’s poisonous influence. Forgiveness is key—accepting God’s forgiveness, asking forgiveness of others, and forgiving oneself, which is sometimes the most difficult undertaking of all.
God has created you with a divine purpose! LOOK UP and see the face of your King. I promise you that if you will turn to God, He will give you a new heart from your stony one.
Carla Goff is an author, speaker, wife and mother. She lives in Atlanta with her husband and is a student at Belhaven University. More of her writings may be found online at marriedgodgirl.blogspot.com.
