1 " Trust is not an obsession, darling, it's 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. "

2 " She released her frustration in one telling breath. “Okay, you win. I’ll do it God’s way, not mine. Satisfied?” “Nope. You can’t. You’re not capable.” “What do you mean I can’t?” She rose up in her chair, ready to take him on. He grinned. “I mean you haven’t made him Lord of your life. Oh, you’ve danced around it plenty this last month, digging into the Bible, praying more, and talking about doing things his way, but the truth of the matter is, you’ve never invited him in.” “What are you talking about, ‘invited him in’?”

Never made the decision to live for him instead of yourself. You know, no more doing things your way, out of selfish motivation?” He hiked a brow while a smile fidgeted on his lips. “You want God’s blessings in your life? You have to obey him. Deuteronomy 30 in the flesh, my good friend. And there’s only one way any human being can even hope to make an attempt at obeying him. And that’s to make him Lord of their life. "

In everything you say, think, or do, you look to honor him, not yourself. You become a new creature in Christ Jesus, one who can finally say no to sin and yes to God' He leaned back and folded his arms, a grin surfacing on his lips. 'And then, if I were you, I'd duck my head and look out.'
She blinked, 'Why?'
'Because the blessings of God are going to overtake you, Charity O'Connor, and you're going to find yourself overloaded with the desires of your heart. "
