Harvest Of Gold (Harvest Of Rubies, #2)

by Tessa Afshar

“Sometimes the heart goes through such a deep valley that the Lord is overshadowed by its darkness.

Reminds me of Psalm 23… when the darkness is too great I have to remind myself I need not fear.

“The problem with discouragement is that it always sounds like the truth.

Help me not waste my time and vigor by giving in to the desire to defend myself.

“This world offers powerful weapons. Bitterness. Detachment. Unforgiveness. You can win an argument with these weapons. You can make yourself feel justified. Feel right. In the end, however, they will rob you of any chance at happiness. Like swords, they can sever the best of unions. These are the only weapons you have known how to wield thus far.

“But the Lord can equip you with godly weapons instead. Weapons that have power to protect you from your enemy’s attacks.
