Inspiring Quotes from June:
“All of the hard things I went through ended up being helpful for what I do now. God has redeemed it all.”
“I didn’t grow up knowing the Bible and I used to wonder why I wasn’t given that kind of childhood. But I realized that God does not waste anything, and that because of my background, I can understand how other lost people feel.”
“We should never feel stuck or discouraged when we look at others and see how much more they know than we do about Scripture. We are all on a journey, and the more we surrender control to the Lord, the more we will grow.”
“There is nothing unredeemable about our hard stories when put into the hands of God.”
“When it comes to things like domestic violence or sexual assault, Christians should be leading the charge – we are the ones who should be speaking out against these things and helping the victims.”
“What we are known for at Hope for the Heart is tackling a library of over 100 topics – emotions, addictions, loss, trials, temptations, etc. – and applying the Bible to those topics. We provide resources so that we might all form a Biblical worldview on these issues.”
“We at Hope for the Heart are passionate about being relevant – we want to show people how relevant practical help based on Biblical hope really is. God’s Word is relevant to anything we could face in this life.”
“You don’t have to know why God allowed something to happen in your life. You can just know that if God has allowed it, He will use it for your good.”
“You will be such a blessing to others the more you share the hope that you have in Christ and the truth that can set them free.”
