Through our experience, we discovered a new "best friend" and HIS name is JESUS. Having FAITH and accepting HIM as Lord and Savior in our lives has enabled us to overcome obstacles, fear, poor self-image and yes, even self-injury.
Feelings of shame and guilt keep you from God and all those negative thoughts you believe about yourself are LIES. You do not have to be perfect for GOD to love you,HE loves you just the way you are...scars and all.
