Hurting Women, Take Heart
Quick medicine restores a soul to 'price above rubies'

LONGWOOD, FL-Proverbs 31 tells us a virtuous woman's price is far above rubies. However, the hardships of life can sometimes make you feel like less than the precious commodity God designed and intended you to be. Keesha L. Earl's Rubies: Unveiling Your Value Through Pain (paperback, 978-1-60477-123-7) is quick medicine for the hurting woman's soul. The book is compact to help promote meditation through repeated readings, which will help to bring about a clear focus for the healing of wounds. It's designed to show the broken woman that she is in fact a jewel and is precious in the sight of God.

"Everything within the pages of Rubies is what I had to apply to my life to overcome the hurt of a failed marriage and what was done to press past the hurt of that situation," says Earl. "What I learned does not just apply to individuals going through a similar situation, but to anyone who has been hurt. Rubies is a tool you can re-read to help you focus on what God is showing you concerning you, so that healing can really begin."

During the times when she was hurting, Earl learned three things that helped her: she had to keep on loving through the hurt. Love then promoted a desire and will to forgive. Then she had to be completely honest with herself and take ownership for her own choices and decisions. After learning these three things, the author was on her way to becoming a changed individual, and she realized the hurt was never intended to stifle or stunt her in moving forward in life, but to manifest and unleash the value God had placed within her.

Keesha L. Earl is an ordained elder at The Temple of Praise in Southeast Washington.
