Control feels safe—until it doesn’t.
 
We learn to manage, fix, and protect because we’ve been hurt too many times. But somewhere in all the defending, we lose ourselves. We push away the love we’re desperate for. We build walls and call them boundaries. We call fear wisdom and control strength.
“Fear is a quiet dictator. It sits deep inside the human heart, whispering that safety depends on control. When fear rules, love becomes conditional, relationships become battles, and peace disappears behind a wall of self-protection.”
From Fear to Love: Breaking Free from Control isn’t a polished devotional full of easy answers. It’s a 30-day heart excavation for those who are tired of pretending everything is okay. Through Scripture, reflection, and painfully honest truth, Jaziz Gutierrez walks with you through the real work of healing—exposing the control patterns rooted in fear, rejection, and trauma, and leading you into the freedom of God’s transforming love.
 
This is for the ones who crave connection but don’t trust it.
For those who give too much, forgive too soon, or shut down when they can’t fix it anymore. If you’re ready to stop controlling love and start becoming it, this devotional will take your hand and guide you home—one surrendered day at a time.
