Wounds consist of: Abandonment, fear, powerlessness, hopelessness, confusion, rejection, and shame. Do you feel like you’ve experienced one or more of these wounds?
When we experience an event, it creates a wound. We then create beliefs about ourselves or judgments about others based on that wound. From those beliefs and judgments, we create inner vows. What’s an inner vow you’ve created based on a wound?
Read Isaiah 53:4-5. What does this passage describe about Jesus?
