Download or read book Turning Your Scars into Stars written by Edith Dolores Roman and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turning Your Scars into Stars is about emotional scars on the heart, spirit, and soul. These types of scars are the most difficult and painful to heal. They consist of abandonment, chronic hurt, pain, rejection, and death. Two verses that comfort me tremendously are Deuteronomy 31:8, which says, The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged (NIV), and also 1 Corinthians 10:13, which says, God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it (NIV). My name is Edith Dolores Roman, and I must be honest and tell you that sometimes when life hit me full force, I felt that the challenges I faced were beyond my ability to overcome! Starting with my childhood, I was orphaned at age eleven, became a foster child, and eventually struggled to raise my two children as a single mother. However, with prayer, persistence, and the strength of God, I was able to overcome, and you are able to also! One more verse that helps me to continue to persevere through my problems is found in 2 Corinthians 12:9, when God reminds his servants, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness (NIV). This book is intended to help people in struggles go from the pit to the peak! My prayer is that this book will help you heal and that it will nurture your soul, just like Proverbs 16:24 says, Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones (NIV).

Download or read book God Really Really Likes You written by Becky Proctor and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever felt alienated from, angry at, intimidated by, or otherwise disconnected from God? You are not alone. Countless people go through life feeling, among other things, that God doesn’t like them, but this book shares life-changing news: God really, really likes you, just the way you are – barefaced, unfiltered, unpolished, on your worst hair day ever. In this book, the author shares her own struggles with misunderstanding God, beginning as a child. “I was a child who didn’t ask many questions. From bits and pieces of fundamental sermons and overheard conversations, my image of God was anything but loving. I pictured God as the enforcer, the disapprover, a bad Santa, ready to catch me doing something ‘bad.’” She kept a respectful distance from God for years. Learn what motivated her to finally accept God’s offer of grace, how simple it was to do and how fulfilling life is now that she knows God not only loves her, but likes her as well, and how God reveals Himself in the simplicity of everyday life. So, no matter how raggedly, how despicable you are feeling, God likes you and loves you. He created you in His own image. You are not some randomly occurring experiment or some fatally flawed lump of humanity. You are not a victim of your circumstances, or of another’s bad decisions, or someone else’s selfish dreams. You are God’s creation, made for a divine purpose to walk through this life on a journey that goes beyond your wildest dreams. And the best part of all — God’s got your back every step of the way.
