Rachel Renee GriggsGreetings and welcome to my home on the internet!

Here is where I wish to share with you the fruit of my love affair with the Creator. As I was working on this site, a friend helped me realize how often I speak of my relationship with the Lord in sensual terms. I had to laugh because I knew this was not done on purpose, it is simply the words that are flowing from my heart. As a woman who loves passionately, this is how I have come to experience intimacy with God. Our love was prophesied about in the Song of Songs and illustrated in the book of Hosea where the prophet writes about a love stronger than abandonment and infidelity. The Lord has proven that He is willing to do anything for His Bride, including the sacrifice of His only Son.

His love is so strong that I feel His presence all over me. I hear Him whisper softly in my ear. His sweet words cause my face to grow warm and my heart to beat fast. I sing love songs to Him and cry sometimes because His love is so real. I pray and I see how He answers every request. Being in relationship with God has made me happier than I could ever imagine. This is true love at its best and I believe everyone should experience this love in their lifetime.

For a long time I did not have the joy and peace that I am experiencing now. Because I allowed guilt and shame over my decisions to capture me, I could not understand how it would be possible for me to have a relationship with the Lord. My perception of God as being distant, yet still judgmental concerning every false move I made, prevented me from understanding my place in His heart. The truth is – God is very near; actually He is less than a breath away. His love is always available and has the power to change your life forever, if you only accept it. I am so glad I stopped running and allowed God’s love to overtake me. He washed away all the dirt of my past and made me a brand new woman.

Through this website I hope to share with you the love of God as I experience it. Hopefully you will travel with me into deeper relationship with Him as we grow in understanding of His Heart. Be sure to visit the site regularly for my daily inspirations as well as the features page for my recent articles and other items to inspire and uplift you.

As you visit the site, you will also be able to stay up to date with the progress of my upcoming book, “The Prodigal Daughter: Lost, Broken and Restored” which illustrates my journey from a place of shame and brokenness to true love and intimacy with the Father. Written as a conversation from my heart to yours, it is my desire to demonstrate the reality of God’s love and restoration for all, no matter how disgusted you may be with your life, the decisions you have made and the situations you find yourself in.

I pray that you will be continually transformed in His love and walk in the destiny that He has placed in you!

Love,
Rachel Renee
