I had so much hurt from childhood and abusive relationships. I still am not where I want to be, but I'm not where I was, and I'm FINALLY willing to trust God completely, rather than try to make a shorter, easier, more popular way to what I want. Praise God, "He never wastes a hurt!" -TD Jakes

[@selah7535]

this may sound stupid but my boyfriend of 3 years just broke up with me 3 days ago and i am in the deepest hole i’ve ever been in mentally. Before him, my life was filled with drugs and sex and a lot of pain and hurt that i had caused for myself but he welcomed me into his life and brought me back to Jesus and this is the most painful thing i have ever gone through. I’m really trying to fully surrender and trust that God will use this pain for growth but it’s so unimaginably hard right now. I hope to be the grape that is crushed to produce new wine.

But JI feel like have lost all, my husband abused my daughters. I cry most of the time struggling to encourage them that it shall be well. Seeing them having mental illness its like a sharp knife going throughy stomach. I feel like i have it all to see them recovering from the trauma but nothing seems working. I am left with no answer. I feel like a useless mother, being judged by the community why my marriage is broken but you can't tell everyone what happened. LORD, I DONT KNOW THE WAY BUT I WILL KEEP LOOKING UP UNTO YOU UNTIL YOU HERE MY 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Let them know it’s not there fought and to not allow this define their life because God got a plan for them and the devil job is to stop it. I declare and decree and plea the Blood of Jesus in their lives that they shall be great women of God and be able to tell their Testimony to other young women.God Bless you and your family!
