Above all, Henrean loved God. She accepted Christ at an early age and believed God showed her favor in her life because of her obedience and faithfulness. She stood on the promise of God that “He will never leave you nor forsake you…” He will supply all your needs; He will answer all our prayers and He forgive our sins. She believed when we truly love God, we will serve Him, we will obey Him, we will trust Him, we will worship Him, we will give to Him, we will defend Him, and we will be willing to suffer for Him.
