Life Quote by Clayton Lindemuth
““This very morning she’d browsed her favorite chapter in Ephesians, which reminded her that the Lord had a plan for her life, with good works prepared like footsteps she should walk in. But the harder she sought direction, the more cagey the Lord seemed. The more tantalizingly distant and unfathomable. She couldn’t doubt what He’d said—but she did doubt what she’d heard out there in the praying field. Did He really promise that He was trustworthy and following Him would bring her closer? Because this wasn’t close at all.””
