Anne Ortlund Quotes
But remember, for all your adult life you'll be a woman. And how you live your life as a woman, all by yourself before God, is what makes the real you. Nothing on the exterior can touch or change that precious inner sanctuary - your heart, His dwelling place - unless you let it. And God, who loves you very much, has tailor made all your outer life - your circumstances, your relationships - to pressure you into becoming that beautiful woman He's planned for you to be.
