Week 2 - A Mother’s Healing Tears

Theme: Breaking Generational Rejection

Maria grew up believing she was a mistake. Her mother had often said, "You ruined my life." The words echoed for decades, and though Maria loved Jesus, a deep wound festered inside her.

One day, during a women's retreat, the speaker shared about the power of blessing. Then she said something unusual:
"If you never received your mother's blessing, I'd like to speak one over you now—in her place."

Maria didn't expect anything to happen. But as the blessing was spoken, tears welled up in her eyes. Not from emotion—but from healing.
It was as if the words went back through time, rewriting something broken. A burden lifted. She sobbed, not with bitterness, but with release.

Later that evening, Maria stood in front of a mirror. For the first time in her life, she smiled at her own reflection and said,
"You are not a mistake. You are beloved."

She has now led others in blessing themselves and forgiving their families. Her own children say she is the most joyful woman they know.

All because someone offered a blessing in place of a mother's curse.
