PAIN & HEALING — When Love Was Never Love (A True Story Every Woman Should Read)

There’s a kind of heartbreak that doesn’t come from losing someone…
it comes from realizing the person you loved never truly loved you back.

Some women are not just betrayed —
they are used, drained, abandoned, and made to question their sanity.

Today, I want to share a story that too many women silently relate to:

A woman poured her whole life into a man who only wanted one thing — opportunity.
He acted like a husband, pretended to love, claimed to be stable…
but once he got everything he needed, he walked away and tried to destroy her reputation on the way out.

This is not gossip.
This is a reality many women face — but are too ashamed to speak about.

Some don’t survive it emotionally.
Some fall into depression.
Some blame themselves.
Some never trust again.

But here’s the truth:
Being used is not your shame.
Being deceived is not your foolishness.
Being abandoned is not your identity.

You loved with a pure heart.
He manipulated with a hidden agenda.
That makes him the problem, not you.

To every woman healing from betrayal, use, manipulation, or immigration marriage deceit:

✨ You will rise.
✨ You will heal.
✨ You will love again — the right way.
✨ God will restore you publicly for what broke you privately.

And to every woman still dating:
Please be careful.
Love is not blind — manipulation is.

When the Heart Waits Longer Than the Body

Her name is Naomi.
If you see her on a normal day, you’ll see a beautiful smile…
but behind that smile is a story only Heaven knows.

Naomi has prayed every prayer.
Visited every doctor.
Heard every well-meaning advice.
Endured every insensitive comment.

She has held other people’s babies
— while wondering when her own arms would finally be filled.
She has celebrated others
— while crying silently in bathrooms and bedrooms where no one could see.

Month after month…
year after year…
hope rises, then hope breaks…
and she asks God again,
“When will it be my turn?”

But here’s what Naomi never realized:

While she was waiting,
God was working.
While she was breaking,
God was building something inside her.
While she was crying,
God was collecting every tear like a precious seed.

Because the womb is not the only thing God prepares —
sometimes He prepares the woman first.

And this is the part that will speak to someone today:

It’s not that God said ‘no’…
it’s that He’s preparing a testimony so big,
your joy will silence every year of pain.”

Naomi learned something powerful in the waiting:
God is not punishing her.
God is not late.
And God has not forgotten her NAME.

Her story is not over —
it’s unfolding.

And so is yours. 🌸

Many Will Feel in Their Bones

There’s a woman I know — let’s call her Miriam.
If you saw her today, you’d admire her smile, her calmness, her strength.
But you’d never imagine what it cost her to get there.

For years, Miriam carried a wound that no doctor could treat —
a pain that came from someone she loved more than life itself.
A betrayal she never saw coming.
A goodbye that still echoes some nights when she tries to sleep.

She prayed.
She fasted.

She cried into pillows no one ever saw her wet.
She tried to fix things… even things she didn’t break.

But nothing changed.
Nothing healed.
Nothing returned.

One night, she whispered through tears:
“God, I can’t carry this anymore.”

And for the first time, she didn’t ask God to fix it…
she asked Him to free her.

That was the turning point.
Healing didn’t come in loud miracles — it came in quiet release.
She didn’t wake up whole…
but she woke up lighter.

She stopped rehearsing the hurt
She stopped blaming herself.
She stopped waiting for an apology that might never come.

She learned this powerful truth:

Sometimes God heals you by removing what keeps breaking you.

And day by day, Miriam found peace again —
in small smiles, in simple mornings, in remembering who she was before the pain.

Letting go didn’t mean she stopped caring.
It meant she stopped bleeding.
It meant she finally chose herself.

💭 Today, ask yourself honestly:
🔹 What am I still holding onto that God is asking me to release?
🔹 Have I confused carrying pain with proving loyalty?
🔹 If I let go today… would I finally breathe again?

Because healing isn’t always about getting something back.
Sometimes healing is about finally walking forward.
Finally resting.
Finally letting God take what your heart can’t hold anymore.

You deserve peace.
You deserve joy.
You deserve a life that feels light again.

Letting go is not failure —
it’s freedom. 🌿✨

They hurt you — maybe without ever saying sorry.
They walked away, and somehow, you were left carrying both the pain and the blame.

For a long time, you told yourself, “I’ve moved on,”
but one memory, one name, one voice still opens old wounds.
That’s the thing about unforgiveness — it hides quietly, like a thorn beneath the skin.

But forgiveness... forgiveness is not saying “it didn’t hurt.”
It’s saying “it will no longer control me.”
It’s choosing peace over poison, healing over hate.

“Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.” — Ephesians 4:32

Forgiveness doesn’t mean they were right — it means you’re ready to be free.
You can’t walk into new joy while dragging old pain.
You can’t hold healing and bitterness in the same heart. 🌸

So maybe today is the day you release the names, the memories, the apologies that may never come.
Because your healing is too precious to keep waiting on someone else’s repentance.

Forgive — not because they deserve it,
but because you deserve peace.

And when you forgive, Heaven celebrates — because that’s where healing finally finds its voice. 💫

There’s a kind of pain that doesn’t come from strangers.
It comes from the ones you carried, the ones you prayed for, the ones you’d still give your last breath to save.

You raised them, sacrificed for them, and dreamed that one day they’d understand the depth of your love.
But now, silence answers your calls. Distance replaces laughter.
And you sit there asking yourself, “Where did I go wrong?”

You replay every memory — every meal, every prayer, every birthday —
and somehow still end up blaming yourself.
But hear this clearly today: You did not fail.

Their absence is not your punishment.
Their coldness is not your reflection.
You loved with all you had — and sometimes, love still gets rejected.

“Even my close friend, someone I trusted, one who shared my bread, has turned against me.” — Psalm 41 : 9

What if this heartbreak isn’t the end of your story, but the start of your healing?
What if God allowed the breaking, not to crush you, but to rebuild you?

Maybe this is your time — to breathe again, to smile again,
to pour all that love you gave away into your own healing. 🌿

So let me ask you — and think about this deeply:
🔹 Have you mistaken their silence for God’s silence?
🔹 Have you allowed their rejection to redefine your worth?
🔹 When was the last time you gave yourself permission to be loved again — by Heaven, by peace, by you?

Because you deserve healing.
You deserve rest.
And God still has joy with your name written all over it.

They say waiting is one of the hardest tests of faith — and I believe that’s true.
It’s not just the silence that hurts; it’s the uncertainty.

I once met a man named Daniel, who had been praying for healing for years.
He said to me once, “I know God can heal me, but will He?”

He struggled with that question — just like many of us do.
Then one day, while reading the story of Lazarus, he realized something powerful:

“Jesus wasn’t late — He was waiting for the perfect time.”

That’s when Daniel’s perspective changed.
He began to thank God, not for what He hadn’t done yet, but for what He was already doing in silence.
He found peace before he found healing — and in time, both came. 🌸

When healing seems delayed, it doesn’t mean God has forgotten you.
It means He’s still writing your story.
You may be in a chapter of waiting, but the Author isn’t finished yet.

“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles.” — Isaiah 40:31

Hold on. Don’t lose faith.
The delay is not denial — it’s divine timing. 💖

👉 Coming soon — and it might just remind you how powerful God’s timing really is.

07/11/2025

I once heard of a woman who lived through so much pain that people wondered how she still smiled. Her name was Grace. 🌸

Grace lost her husband suddenly and had to raise her two children alone. Life turned dark — bills piled up, and nights were sleepless. There were days she went without food so her children could eat. Yet, every morning, she whispered the same prayer:

“Lord, give me strength for today, and hope for tomorrow.”

Years passed, and Grace learned what many of us often forget — that endurance is not about surviving in silence but trusting God even in the waiting.

She didn’t get instant miracles. But she got daily grace. She didn’t always have answers, but she found peace in God’s presence.

And one day, things began to change — little by little.
Someone helped pay her rent. Her health improved. Her children graduated. She wept again, but this time it was tears of gratitude.

Grace’s story reminds us that God never wastes pain.
Sometimes, your tears are the seeds that grow into tomorrow’s joy. 🌿

When we think we’re going through the worst, we often forget someone else is facing something even deeper.

If only we knew the battles others are fighting in silence, we’d learn to be more grateful for the little peace we still have.

Pain has a way of making us look inward — but endurance teaches us to look upward.
So, hold on. Healing is coming — maybe not instantly, but in God’s perfect time.

“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” — Psalm 30:5

Sometimes the strongest prayers are the ones we never hear.
The ones whispered in the dark when no one is watching —
a mother praying for her children,
for peace in her home,
for grace to hold everything together. 🌿

I celebrate every woman whose strength is clothed in gentleness.
Every mother whose love keeps a home standing, even when life gets hard.
You may not always be seen, but Heaven sees you.
And God is faithful — you will live long to reap the fruits of your labor. 🌸

“Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her.” — Proverbs 31:28

✨ To every mother, every prayer warrior —
May your love never go unnoticed. ❤️

A few weeks ago, my heart grew heavy after hearing my dad’s diagnosis.
The doctors said he has dementia — a condition that affects his memory and mind. As they spoke, I listened quietly, but deep inside, my spirit whispered,

“This is not the final word.”

It brought back a memory of a time when I received a doctor’s report that shattered me.
I was diagnosed with PCOS, and the doctor said my chances of ever having children were “slim to none.”
I went home broken, but I married a man whose faith was stronger than fear.

He looked at me one day and said,

God never told me that my wife wouldn’t bear children.”

That statement changed everything.
I decided to believe — not the doctor’s report, but God’s report.
Today, by His mercy, we have two beautiful children — living proof that God still rewrites stories. 🙏

Now, as I watch my father go through this difficult season, I remind myself of that same truth:

The God who restored my womb can restore my father’s mind.
The God who healed my heart can heal his memory.
The God who gave life before will do it again
My dad was once a man of great wisdom — always helping others start businesses and build their dreams. Many came to him for help; some, sadly, took advantage of his kindness and never returned what they owed. One of them even spoke harmful words in anger. Whether or not that has anything to do with his condition, one thing I know is this:

God has the final say.

Doctors may describe the situation, but only God decides the outcome.
And so we’re praying, believing, and standing firm — that the same God who turned my tears into joy will once again turn our pain into praise.

🕊️ He restored me once… and I know He will restore my dad too.

When the doctor gives a report, remember — it’s not the end.
God has the final say.
The same God who rewrote my story will do it again for my dad. 🙏

I remember a season in my life when nothing seemed to work.
It felt like everything I touched slipped away — opportunities, friendships, even joy. I prayed and cried, asking God why He seemed so silent.
One morning, I woke up before dawn — tired, empty, and on the edge of giving up. I stepped outside just as the sun began to rise. The sky glowed with gentle gold, and for the first time in a long while, I felt peace instead of pain.
Something inside me whispered, “Thank Me… even now.”
At first, it didn’t make sense. Thank You? For what?
But I closed my eyes and said softly, “Thank You, Lord — not because everything is perfect, but because You’re still here.”
That moment changed everything. My situation didn’t shift overnight, but my heart did. Gratitude opened my eyes to blessings I had been too hurt to see.
The roof over my head. The breath in my lungs. The quiet strength to face one more day.
I realized that gratitude isn’t about ignoring pain — it’s about seeing grace in spite of it.
It’s about remembering that God is still working behind the scenes, even when the stage of your life looks empty.
Now, whenever life feels heavy, I remind myself:

“The heart of gratitude doesn’t wait for miracles — it notices them in the small, quiet moments.”

So if you’re reading this, maybe this is your sunrise moment too. 🌅
Take a deep breath. Whisper a simple “thank You.”
You’ll be amazed how peace follows right after.

Gratitude doesn’t change what you have — it changes how you see it.
Today, let your heart find peace in the little things. 💛
