God's Restoration of Our Identity - Reviewing Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers

11/09/22 • 52 min

Despite the criticism - mainly by those who never read the book but have jumped on the negative bandwagon - Redeeming Love is story of how God restores us, little by little. We all want overnight transformation but as I heard someone say one day, a lot of what we call deliverance is people needing knowledge - knowledge of WHO God is.
What Fran and I discuss about identity restoration from the perspective of the book is:

How our identity is tainted - often from an early age - by circumstances, what we've believed about what people say about us and how the enemy confirms what we believe by what we later experience
What rejection does to wound our souls
Why God uses people in our identity restoration process but keeps ultimate ownership - pg 349 "Let her go beloved... would you let her hang on her own cross forever?"
Why we should never underestimate the power of sowing seeds
When love gets tainted and how God uses real love, His love, to restore our identity

I absolutely loved recording these episodes with Fran and honestly, if you've not yet read the book, you can grab your copy from Amazon.
By the way, I am not a novels person. My daughter had to beg me so many times before I relented. For her as a young person, she was grateful to learn before marriage the importance of intimacy and not just sex.
