Years ago I had someone tell me that marriage will bring out issues and struggles from your past you didn't realize were even inside. Over the past few months, I have found that to be true. And as I have processed through things from my past, this song has taken on new meaning and a deeper sense of truth. In all of this I am increasingly thankful for my Jesus and the forgiveness I have through Him, and for my husband, who loves me through it all. Hopefully, it brings comfort to others as well.
FORVIGEN by Sanctus Real
Well the past is playing with my head
And failure knocks me down again
I’m reminded of the wrong
That I have said and done
And that devil just wont let me forget
In this life
I know what I’ve been
But here in your arms
I know what I am
[chorus]
I’m forgiven
I’m forgiven
And I don’t have to carry
The weight of who I’ve been
Cause I’m forgiven
My mistakes are running through my mind
And I’ll relive my days, in the middle of the night
When I struggle with my pain, wrestle with my pride
Sometimes I feel alone, and I cry
In this life
I know what I’ve been
But here in your arms
I know what I am
When I don't fit in and I don’t feel like I belong anywhere
When I don’t measure up to much in this life
Oh, I’m a treasure in the arms of Christ ‘cause

Love that song Sarah...I think part of God's design for marriage was to conform us more into His image, as he cleans us from the inside out....In Him we live and move and have our very being!
I love your openess...you are a such a blessing to me!
