No matter what you have been through or what you may be going through, remember God loves you and He has not forgotten you. Throughout this book, you will find many scriptures reminding you of just how much He cares. The adversary tries to otherwise convince you. He is a liar and cannot be trusted. After all, his job is to steal, to kill, and to destroy; he will use anything and anybody to deceive you because he cares nothing about you. Trust God’s plans for your life! After all, He is the way, the truth and the light. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers and against the prince of darkness (Ephesians 6:12 NKJV). Everyone is on a Journey in life; we all have to end up somewhere—the choice is yours. It is God’s desire to bless you, but first you must be in order and in alignment with His word. The word of the Lord cannot return to Him void. So let go of the past hurt and disappointment and look toward your future. God has something great in store for you. Recognize your worth!! Many women, no matter the age, have suffered with identity and self-esteem issues; even with the flaws, you are still valuable.

Sally Dickerson grew up in a loving, nurturing family who enjoyed the prosperity of 1950s. She was provided everything she needed to become a successful adult, yet she suffered silently, believing she was ugly, unlovable, and worthless. She remembered learning the songs of Jesus's unconditional love but believed that love was a gift given to everyone else because she didn't deserve it. Her self-loathing and lack of self-esteem were compounded throughout her youth as she tried to cope by compulsively overeating, abusing alcohol, and engaging in a long series of emotionally abusive relationships with men. In Long Journey Back to Eden, she shares her story about how God reached out to her in the depths of depression, began to heal her, and led her from a place of constant fear and anxiety to a place of contentment and acceptance of herself as someone who can freely and joyfully claim, "I am loved by God." credit photo: cover photo by Ann Cashner [email protected]
