Carol’s Notes & Highlights

The Masterpiece by Francine Rivers

1 note & 1 highlight

She had learned a long time ago not to argue theology. She hadn’t come to faith because someone gave her all the answers. She came to faith because she met and talked with someone who made her feel enveloped by God’s love.

“Lord, help us. Make us useful even when we do not know what to do. Make us perceptive when we are dull, make us compassionate even as we try to turn away. Make us intelligent. Our ideas are so small. Yours are limitless. Please help us learn the things we need to know.”
― Cara Wall, The Dearly Beloved

“Matthew 6:27 asks a rather poignant question: ‘Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?’ “Friends, worry isn’t the answer. It’s the problem. Worry fosters fear, which fosters doubt, which fosters trouble. “I’ve thought about this all week. Perhaps what our Father would have us learn is that worry is not for Him to take away, but for us to give up. By surrendering it to Him, we make room in our hearts for His perfect peace. And that peace, no matter what our circumstances, is what keeps the vital signs of our faith healthy and strong.”
― Kathy Herman, Vital Signs
