More Francine Rivers

"One of life's greatest tragedies is watching a relationship unravel over something that could have been resolved over one intelligent, adult conversation."

"Sometimes we find ourselves caught up in currents and carried along where we don't want to go. Then we find out later that God's hand was in it all along."

I will post more quotes as I read along her novels, but so far, she is being a strong voice of reason for me, and God is using her to fill some holes in my heart.

Redeeming Love

It will never cease to amaze me those moments when you truly realize that God has a hand in everything you do, even when you don't see til afterward. What a feeling to catch a glimpse of that.

Though I have owned this book for about 3-4 years, I didn't even open the front cover. I see why now: God wasn't ready for me to read it. It wouldn't have spoken to me the way it did now.

Why did I walk into my closet the other day and grab it? Boredom? No, about halfway through this book, I knew there was a reason.

I knew God's hand had lead me to it, not of my own will, but of his.

What an empowering feeling to feel God guide your hand, and for him to speak to you in such a booming voice.

Wow.
