If It Had Not Been for the Lord

Captured by His Love and Kept by His Grace

Beschreibung

As women of God, we have a hope that God is working powerfully in our lives to make us into gleaming, shining diamonds for His glory. I am a diamond in God's eyes; I have been through the fire and have come out even more beautiful and strong. God brought me from the dirt roads of life and made me into a diamond for His glory! Throughout my life, God has used the pressure of trials and troubles to shape me into the person I am today. We often look at others' lives and wish we had what they have, but we don't know what they had to go through to get to where they are. We see them now not knowing their "back then." Join with me as I share the testimony of my childhood and young adult life. Yes, I went through many trials and suffered heartaches, but, thank God, He kept me! This book is my story, my testimony, and my truth of the grace of God. God's love, grace, and mercy followed me, chased me down, and kept me for His use and His glory!
