From “Old Shoe” to Shiny New
By faith we understand that the universe was created by the Word of God … Hebrews 11:3
Bringing life from lifeless, darkness to light, something from nothing by His powerful Word—this is God’s specialty! Over and over again, we at Hidden Heart Ministry have been privileged to observe God’s life-giving work in the hearts of women and consequently, in their marriages as they receive His Word through The Cry of the Hidden Heart. When women discover the truth of Scripture regarding their identity as females formed in the image of God and the essential, distinctive role they play in marriage and family, the overflow of that discovery can be felt far and wide. After having recently worked through the eight-week study with a small group one of our participants wrote this about her experience:
What a wonderful blessing your book and the study together with all those amazing women was! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for obeying the Holy Spirit and writing the book and now continuing to lead discussions, after many years. Thank you for not retiring from the work the Lord has for you! I just love so many beautiful expressions in the book, but last night’s “Exploded in your heart” has to be one of the top three! That describes precisely what the Lord has done in me, and I couldn’t be more excited. To think, after all these years, my marriage could improve. My attitude CAN change. I can love, honor, and yes, obey my dear husband, all for the glory of God. Father is so very gracious to never, ever give up on us. He loves us so.
I have sometimes dreamed of experiencing again that dreamy, first love for my sweet husband. How my heart would leap if he would call on the phone. How excited and thrilled I would be while getting ready for a date or even attending a meeting that I knew he would attend. And, Karen, let me tell you, last week I experienced it again, in my heart. My emotions thrilled at being with him. It did not matter at all what we did. My heart just thrilled to be with him. I actually cried looking at him sleeping recently, loving him with my silent tears.
Thank you so very, very much for allowing me the opportunity to grow so much with God, thus, with my marriage.
Having recently celebrated twenty-five years of sharing God’s Word with His precious daughters, Hidden Heart Ministry continues to be reliant upon the generosity of donors like you. As the confusion regarding our identity, value, and purpose as females exacerbates, it is more and more imperative that we continue to be a strong voice in this culture to recover the place of honor, dignity, and influence granted women in marriage. With the exception of some technical support, HHM is a volunteer organization. Will you help us in being faithful to our mission by praying for us and by making a tax-deductible donation to Hidden Heart Ministry? Together we can carry on the unfinished work of restoration for which Jesus came.
