The battle would not take place in the mountains, valleys, or plains of Israel. It would take place in the wilderness of the human heart.
Francine RiversLove the Lord your God, and love one another. Love one another as He loves. Love with strength and purpose and passion and no matter what comes against you. Don't weaken. Stand against the darkness, and love. That's the way back into Eden. That's the way back to life.
Francine RiversWe bear the consequences for what we have done to ourselves, and for the sin that rules this world. Jesus forgave the thief, but he didn't take him down off the cross.
