"A woman who fears the Lord will not run away from God to satisfy her longings and relieve her anxieties. She will wait for the Lord. She will hope in God. She will stay close to the heart of God and trust in His promises. The prospect of departing into the way of sin will be too fearful to pursue; and the benefits of abiding in the shadow of the Almighty too glorious to forsake."
— John Piper

I didn’t like the woman I was when I didn’t seek after the Lord’s heart and sought the desires of my own. And you know you’re a child of God when He chastens you. I’m very thankful for His discipline that installs the fear of the Lord, mercy, and unconditional love. And His grace enables women to recover from setbacks and be used for His purpose. His Word portrays such women for proof. The benefits of abiding in the shadow of the Almighty are too glorious to forsake.
Way too glorious to forsake.
Way too glorious to forsake.
