She Reads Truth Quotes

“In the surety of God’s love, we can let up on the reins of our everyday and enjoy the panoramic view of His covenant faithfulness, stretching as far as the eye can see.

“God's Word was true, even though everything in us doubted. God's Word was true, even though part of us didn't want to believe it. God's Word was true, even though every engine in ourselves seemed to be firing with shame, accusation, hopelessness, and fear. The Truth was still true.

“This world is still passing away, just like my dad did, just like autumn leaves do and like you and I will. But God and His Word will never pass away (Matt. 24: 35). He is the one permanent thing we find when we frantically grasp in the dark of our doubt and fear. He is the perfection we long for in the midst of our suffering and brokenness. He is the one sure thing we seek in our uncertainty.”

“I’m one who’s inclined to identify all the what-ifs of a situation and let them determine my course. I’ve been known to leave the question of “What’s actually true here?” out of the equation altogether, assuming my assessment of the facts is really all that matters. And,”

“This world is ever-changing. It’s passing away, and I can sense it, I can see it. Calculating the risks and evaluating my next steps are my ways of holding tight to the reins. In fact, I can grow so consumed with the calculating and the evaluating and the holding tight that I let go of the reason it all matters to begin with. When”
