Have you ever been hurt by someone breaking their word to you? Close family members, friends… it can sometimes feel like you can’t expect anything from people anymore. In these times of disappointment, God wants to reveal himself to you in a deeper way as you go to him and find solace in him. He

Having moved often, I have attended many churches in my life… and to be honest, I have experienced church hurt. I didn’t expect that, because I thought church would be the one place where I was safe from being hurt. If you can relate, you are not alone; God sees you and wants to comfort
I want to be genuinely loved by others, and I’m sure you do, too. Having someone help you with no strings attached, or dropping everything to come to your rescue, are acts that you will never forget. Somebody who loves you “just because” is what we all want, and you should strive to give that to
