What does it mean to be loved by God? Denise Swatsenbarg felt God’s love as a child. She understood John 3:16 (NIV), “for God so loved the world,” and that God loved her, too. But Denise’s ability to sense God’s love faltered after she was abused. She struggled for years until, as an adult, she prayed the ”Our Father” and knew she needed to write a forgiveness letter.

Jodie Cooper never imagined she’d be in an abusive relationship, or that she’d find herself being the abuser. Cooper prayed, fasted and repented. She asked God to intervene -- and He did.
