Quotes from Lysa TerKeurst

I wasn't made to live a life that dishonors the Lord.

Philippians 4:7 holds a promise for us when we turn to God and allow His truth to fill us — our hearts are protected by peace: And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Truth is the perfect tranquilizer. The enemy's power is rendered powerless in the presence of God's promises.

If so, I guarantee when the enemy sees us he shakes with fear. He isn't scared of the judgmental soul shellacked with a fake sense of perfection. But the compassionate soul who has hurt deeply and come out loving? Yes, she is one of the superstars of God's grand story, and the one you want near you in the battles of life.

Married or not, don't let what breaks your heart destroy your life. Hold fast to Jesus and remember: This breaking of you will be the making of you.

I want it to be evident that I'm a girl who spends time with Jesus and that He's working on me.

In this great day when most women wave banners of authenticity about our pasts, we crouch back from honesty about our presents. We'll tell you all about our broken places of yesterday but don't dare admit the limitations of our today.

To love God is to cooperate with His grace.

It's interesting that the original phrase in the late 1500s was "God be with Ye." The contraction of that phrase was "Goodbwye" which eventually became "goodbye."….. I wonder, when Jesus watched the rich young ruler walk away, what was the look in His eyes? I wonder, when Peter denied Jesus and abandoned Him just before Jesus went to the cross, what was the goodbye like?

Rewriting the go-to scripts is one of the most crucial steps toward permanent progress.

The resulting hurt of any form of rejection can linger and entangle us from moving forward if we don't put it behind us.

We can't always fix our circumstances, but we can fix our minds on God. We can do that.
