Redeeming Love.
Another beautiful, captivating, heart-pounding novel.
The word 'Love'. What meaning does it carry, or is it a foul word?. The disgusting past people carry like ‘old baggage’ everywhere they go. Perceptions on others and the bitterness people carry due to unknowingly forming judgments. The beauty of knowing God forgives and will never forsake his children. The terrible feeling of guilt acting as though nothing had happened. Accepting another’s judgment, believing the shame belongs. Once like this, always like this. The feeling of unworthy-ness to receive unconditional love from another. The feeling of life and warmth when someone brushes on one’s skin instead of being numb to touch. Knowing the importance of being loved. A love that comes with sacrifice and not pride. To believe that God works through anyone. And to also know that God is a jealous God. To know my identity in Him and not wrap myself around what others say about me behind my back.
My loving father, I pray that you guard my heart as how I read about the character Francine Rivers wrote in her novel.
I want to be beautiful
Make you stand in awe
Look inside my heart and be amazed
I want to hear you say
Who I am is quite enough
Just wanna be worthy of love and BEAUTIFUL.
