The Masterpiece

by Francine Rivers

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.

All his strength hadn’t been enough to break free, but one soft word from Christ, and he was alive again.

All I can tell you is faith is just the beginning of a long, difficult journey.”

When you say yes to Jesus, He gives you the Holy Spirit. The next time you read His Word with that in mind and some prayer, you’ll begin to understand. The Spirit is going to teach you and show you how it applies to your life. You’ll start recognizing God’s voice. You’ll know where you’ve gone wrong

and how to get right with God. You follow His lead. Your life begins to change from the inside out.”

“I share the blame. If I’d brought you up to know your worth, you might not have sold yourself short. Sometimes women love too much and lose themselves completely.”
