    The Truth About Love And Why It Doesn't Hurt w/J. Rosemarie Francis

    Love doesn't hurt. I'm reminded of this truth while reading my latest book. It's a story about a woman who's brutally and routinely beaten by her husband. Unfortunately, this is not just fiction. Every day millions of women are brutally beaten by people who say they love them. And it's not only the physical abuse that hurts. In this episode, I reiterate the concept that love doesn't hurt. I talk about Christ's love for the church and can't imagine that he would hit His bride in the face or kick her with His foot. Love Doesn't Hurt is a simple yet profound call to action for solo moms to look within and connect with a loving savior whose love is unconditional. This Valentine's Day, if you find yourself alone and not where you want to be, remember, solo mom. Love doesn't hurt. " Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. ~ Romans 13:10 Feeling unloved?
