... I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly John 10:10

Have you ever found yourself wishing you could go back in time and change things? Heal a hurt? Fix a failure? The ghost of bad choices past is never far away, rattling chains of unforgiveness and haunting away all hope of a better tomorrow. I’ve met far too many women who cant break the specters icy embrace. Steal. Kill. Destroy. Thats Jesus description in John 10:10. The enemy wants to steal your joy, kill your dreams, and destroy what you love. One of his sharpest tools is the dull ache of guilt unresolved. It can cut through the heart, exposing a wound of shame that bleeds profound sorrow. The world offers Band-Aids of distraction and addiction to temporarily cover the seething infection, but... Jesus, the Great Healer, holds in His nail-scarred hands something radical to replace the wounded heart-its the new heart of abundant life! Only Jesus can give you back your future by forgiving, and forgetting, the failures of past. Now you can live! The way God planned it. The way God wants you to be.

It is for freedom that Christ set you free. - Apostle Paul
