I Looked in Your Eyes and Saw the Devil: My Story of Survival

By Charissa Green

I Looked in Your Eyes and Saw the Devil acknowledges the bad situations in life as well as the good circumstances. It’s called life, but to live our best lives, we must let go and let God. God wants us to be the best versions of ourselves. Those of us that are sick and tired of living an unfulfilled life, there’s hope. But our transformation is not going to happen to us overnight automatically. We have to put in the work and focus on our inner being. We go through some very tough times, but tough times should not last too long.

People disrespect us and hurt us, and the lasting effects are overwhelming. When this happens, let us acknowledge the pain and hurt and take the much-needed time for a divine healing to take place and learn from it. It is all for the betterment of ourselves and for others. When a person stays down in a downtrodden condition, it’s likely going to be a very difficult task to recover from. It’s very damaging to the soul of a person. We are no less than damaged goods. Give yourselves a chance. We deserve to be loved and loved the right way.

For those who are broken, disappointed, disgusted, and hurt and can’t seem to find a way out, please know that there is hope. Charissa Green shares her bad experiences with you and how she was able to overcome them. She also shares with her readers that there is so much power in love. Developing true love for God and ourselves is key when turning our lives around.

Know that the words written in this book are straight from the heart of a person who is experiencing perfect peace and understanding. God’s timing is perfect! Wait on it. Charissa Green has been there. Whether it has been relationship issues or any everyday life event, when faced with difficulties, she has learned that it is best to have a clear mind, faith in God, and the strength to defeat the hate and evil that exists in the world today.
