The Invitation is an encounter of the Father reaching down and calling His daughter to a closer walk with Him--to follow His leading out of the misty lowlands, a life of defeat and hopelessness, onto a walk that is on a much higher plain. It is an invitation to step out of the boat onto deep waters and trusting Him when she can't see and trusting that He sees her and knows her more than she thinks, to come and be healed and set free from the lies of rejection and insecurity that so wanted to destroy her. It is the story of overcoming faith in the midst of trials, sorrow, and tragedy and how God gives us beauty for ashes, joy for mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair; and they shall be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor. It is the greatest love story a woman could desire.
