Download or read book Reflections of a Healing Heart written by T. Monique and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-03-27 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healing is a process, a personal process that encompasses individual strength, behaviors, actions, and attitudes. We get to decide, when, how, and why we complete the healing process. Many times, we petition for God to speak, to acknowledge, or to send a sign for the pain, challenges, and places we face. If we listen close enough or pay attention, we will find He does send a Word through a scripture, person, circumstance, or our own prayers. Unfortunately, there are times we simply miss “it”! Times when we overlook the exact thing we asked God for and there are times when we can’t recognize God’s answer amid our troubles because they feel so loud, big, painful. This compilation of Love Letters, Notes of Encouragement, Pivot Points and Prayers are a remembrance of God’s Word speaking to the challenges, pains, and places over a young adult life resulting in hope, encouragement, and connection. Through the Love Letters we see how God’s love is revealed and supported by scripture. In Notes of Encouragement, we find God’s word releasing us from the frustrations of disappointment, resentment and perceived failed opportunities. In Pivot Points, we find God’s word soothing our decisions, discretions, and renewing hope. Finally, in Prayers we find an honest conversation with the Father. The reflections within the Love Letters, Notes of Encouragement, Pivot Points and Prayers acknowledge the hurt which began the healing process. We all deserve to heal from past hurts to embrace the possibilities of future happiness. Recognizing that the Father will answer, that healing is possible, and He wants us to be filled with the Fruit of the Spirit is a beautiful phenomenon filled with real hope. There is a petition for each of you to lean in, to listen for, or remember when, God spoke directly to your challenge, pain, and place. Be encouraged.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1989, Dan Allender's The Wounded Heart has helped hundreds of thousands of people come to terms with sexual abuse in their past. Now, more than twenty-five years later, Allender has written a brand-new book on the subject that takes into account recent discoveries about the lasting physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual ramifications of sexual abuse. With great compassion Allender offers hope for victims of rape, date rape, incest, molestation, sexting, sexual bullying, unwanted advances, pornography, and more, exposing the raw wounds that are left behind and clearing the path toward wholeness and healing. Never minimizing victims' pain or offering pat spiritual answers that don't truly address the problem, he instead calls evil evil and lights the way to renewed joy. Counselors, pastors, and friends of those who have suffered sexual harm will find in this book the deep spiritual guidance they need to effectively minister to the sexually broken around them. Victims themselves will find here a sympathetic friend to walk alongside them on the road to healing.
Download or read book Healing A Broken Heart written by Sarah La Saulle and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-11 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The loss of a love is a nearly universal emotional crisis, whether the end is divorce, desertion, or a mutually agreed-upon separation. At first, friends and family are there to offer a shoulder to cry on, but after a few months there's an expectation that we just need to get over the crisis and move on. Thus, unprocessed, painful feelings are buried, leaving us numb. Or we repeat damaging relationship patterns over and over again. The situation doesn't have to be like that. Healing a Broken Heart guides those of us grieving for a lost love through four metaphorical seasons of recovery with provocative questions -- and journal pages on which to respond -- to help move us forward. The four seasons serve as powerful metaphors for the stages of the grieving process. Summer is the season for charting the course of a relationship: remembering hopes and expectations, the warning signs that went unheeded. During autumn, journalers accept the reality of breaking up and acknowledge things about the relationship that didn't serve their needs. Winter brings the pain of grief over the profound loss. Finally, spring -- and, with it, renewal -- invites readers to examine and understand how their family history may have affected their past relationships. Punctuated throughout with poems and moving meditations, the thoughtful, interactive approach of this book offers the time and space we all need to heal when our hearts are broken.

Some are dark; Some are uplifting, but all of them are an integral part of the abstraction that is me. I hope you enjoy them and that they can be a blessing to you.
