SYNOPSIS I used to cry uncontrollably like a trapped animal due to the physical, emotional, verbal, mental, and psychological abuse I experienced some years ago from the hands of my ex-husband. This abuse left me with wounds that open at the mention of my abuser’s name! At times, I would lay in a fetal position while I wept. I did not know, or couldn’t identify, what was the root cause of my pain until I realized I was dealing with the aftermath of the horrific abuse I experienced. I was beautiful but broken. One dark night, I crawled into bed weeping inconsolably underneath my blanket when I clearly heard the voice of the Lord saying, “You have cried over this for the last time.” That cry for reasons I do not know, got to God’s ears. So, I willingly gave God my pain. That memorable night will forever be etched into my memory. I finally gave it all to the Lord and allowed Him to perform His surgery on my aching broken heart.
