Abuse of any kind whether verbal, mental, physical, emotional or sexual leaves scars. The impact of abuse is far reaching. When you're wounded during your childhood years the pain affects every area of your life. Your innocence is stolen. You're confused, angry and bitter. You have low self-esteem and no self-worth. Oftentimes you wear a mask because you really don't know who you are. Your adolescence, young adult and adult years are filled with inner turmoil and pain. You feel guilty, dirty and distant. When you're abused you are wounded because your mind, body and spirit has been broken. But God specializes in putting broken hearts and lives back together again. Without God's divine intervention and revelation you will never discover who you are. God is bigger than your pain. His purposes are greater than your past. And his desire is to love and affirm you. To restore and rebuild every broken area in your life. In this book, Still Scarred, Totally Healed, Patrina Gardner shares her personal testimony of childhood pain. But she also proves that you can trust God again. When you open your wounded heart and mind to God's truth He will move you from a place of shame to a place of grace. He will heal you to reveal to you His wonderful purpose and plans for your life.
