What is it like to be a woman who has only known broken and hurtful relationships? What are her experiences of love like and what happens when she feels she is not good enough to live a different life? What happens to her heart when she believes that love never lasts and she has no hope that her life can ever be different? What happens when she has an encounter with God that changes her very perception of life, love, relationships, and men? In these devotionals you will read about the author s journey from brokenness to wholeness, from hopelessness to faith, and how the experience of God s tender love set her free from the damaging effects of hurtful and abusive relationships.
