The Big Idea: To move from being wounded to wholeness

A wounded woman

A broken woman

• Desperation
• Humiliation

A restored woman

The application of God's grace to Wounded lives

• Woundedness - An experience so painful that it becomes a filter
  and backdrop for my relationships and approach to life.

• Brokenness - An end to self reliance and the liberating awareness
  that I can't make it without God.

Observations:

• Just because we talk about our wounds doesn't mean the wound
  has been dealt with.

• We make others pay for our wounds.

• Wounds can turn inward and fill us with pride.

Suggestions:

• Stop denying that it exists.

• Let it drive you to profound forgiveness.
