A Nigerian lady identified as Mercy Makinde has opened up on the things that kept her weighed down when she was younger. The woman shared her liberation story to inspire other women who might be going through something worse.
Makinde took to her Facebook page to share her thrilling story and to let people know she serves an awesome God. She said people who do not know her will not understand all she went through to wear the crown that she is rocking now.
According to the beautiful woman, she was given out in marriage to a man older than her father at the age of eighteen. She suffered all forms of abuse for eleven horrifying years. Broken down and unable to understand why her life was like that, Makinde said she tried taking her own life about three times.

In the process of going through all these shock waves, she lost her self-esteem and her confidence dwindled.
This did not make her socialize as she found herself disconnected from friends and family. Attending functions and being in church became worrisome to her as she basically reclined into her shell and was not willing to live.
However, Makinde said God pulled her through and rescued her from the shadow of death. He gave her a second chance at marriage by giving her a man who loved her endlessly and did everything to make her feel whole again.
She found a man who understood her pains and helped her heal. Not only did he stand as a rock for her, his presence made up for all the years she spent in agony and acute depression. To her, this is a second chance at marriage.
In addition to finding a man who loves her unconditionally, Makinde said God restored all she had lost over the years. She gave birth to two children even when she had been told she would never have children again.
