God Quote by Francine Rivers — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Never doubt God in the darkness what he has given us in the light.”

“Were you there?”

“Sometimes God has to destroy in order to save. He has to wound in order to heal.”

“It was no accident, no coincidence, that the seasons came round and round year after year. It was the Lord speaking to us all and showing us over and over again the birth, life, death, and resurrection of his only begotten Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ, our Lord. It was like a best-loved story being told day after day with each sunrise and sunset, year after year with the seasons, down through the ages since time began.”

“I'm only a tool, beloved. Not your Savior”

“Michael had once read to her how God had cast a man and woman out of paradise. Yet, for all their human faults and failures. God had shown them the way back in.”

“Don't allow the opinions of other people to shape your concept of him. Get to know him yourself, and let the goodness of God change you from the inside out.”

“You know, Sage, Jesus didn't tell us to forgive everyone. He said turn the other cheek, but only if you the one who was hit. Even the Lord's Prayer says it loud and clear: Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Not others. What Jesus challenges us to do is to let go of the wrong done to you personally, not the wrong done to someone else. But most Christians incorrectly assume that this means that being a good christian means forgiving all sins, and the sinners.”

“It is not too late to overcome any defeat. Believe in God Almighty, and He will change your trajectory.”

“Every second, every minute, every hour”

“Faith is not passivity; it is surrender with trust. It is opening our hands and hearts, letting go of the illusion of control, and resting in the decree of the Most Merciful. In that surrender, there is profound peace. What the Sustainer chooses for us carries wisdom, even when it does not align with our own plans”
