21 " lay down and slept,Yet I woke up in safety,For the LORD was watching over me.PSALM 3:5 "
― Tessa Afshar , In the Field of Grace
22 " We travel through many wildernesses in life, be they real like Jacob’s Bethel, or wildernesses of the soul. Broken dreams, loss, grief. Sometimes there is nothing to comfort us but the hard stones of a lonely path. In those places, God seems so far away and distant. The way He does to Naomi right now. Yet, there is a ladder that touches down into the soil of our loneliest wilderness. The angels of the Lord ascend and descend upon it, and He is Himself watchful to give us aid. "
23 " If we all received only what we deserved, this would be a bitter world. "
24 " The Lord uses odd instruments to fulfill His will. The weaker the vessel, the better He likes it. It only proves His strength. I want you to understand. I wasn’t the hero in that story. God was. "
