Jesus Heals a Broken Heart

Monica was a stay-at-home mother because her husband, Mario, wouldn’t permit her to work outside of the house. Five years ago he left the family and moved to Spain to find work. However, he not only broke his promise to send money back to her but he married another woman in Spain. Heartbroken, Monica and her two children lived off the generosity of her mother and brothers. During this time she became a chain smoker as a means to feel good. However, she felt anything but happiness.

Life dramatically changed for Monica in March 2007 when she accepted Jesus as her Savior at the end of a Jesus Film showing. Since that time, God has performed a miracle in her life. She is working as a nurse’s assistant in a clinic and faithfully attends the Nazarene church with her children. People who knew her before say that she is a totally different person—sure of herself and full of joy. Jesus healed her broken heart. Monica says that Jesus is her new husband. Hallelujah!
