Quotes by Julie Lessman

Forgiveness is really just another word for freedom.

Trust is not an obsession, its an extension of love. When we truly love someone, we give them our heart to hold in their hands. And when that love is returned, that very trust is balm to our souls.

Trust is not an obsession, darling, its an extension of love. When we truly love someone, we give them our heart to hold in their hands. And when that love is returned, that very trust is balm to our souls.

You can. Its not a matter of feeling it, its a matter of doing it - making the decision to bend that iron will of yours in Gods direction so that He can hear your prayers and unleash blessings.

She sighed. I dont know, Father, how do you get over someone whos held your heart in their hands for so long? And what do you do when they constantly turn your love away, leaving you battered and bruised? A sob broke free from her throat to pierce the darkness.His arm stiffened, paralyzed over her shoulder.Marcys voice rose, quiet and strong, to counter her daughters pain. You run to the arms of the Almighty, Lizzie. Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

I mean that I discovered theres a difference between acceptance and reignation - one is positive, the other is negative. Acceptance opens the door of hope wide, while resignation slams it shut. One says God is good and loves us, and the other says He is harsh and doesnt care. Abraham chose to accept Gods will, knowing full well that God loved him and not only wanted the best for him, but knew exactly what that best would be. Neither is easy when it means relinquishing the desires of our heart, but acceptance promises that God will bless our obedience with a greater good. Resignation, however, can sever our relationship with God, which leaves us on our own, resulting in darkness and despair.
