There are many things that I don’t understand.
In a very real sense, the suffering of this world was created by man himself.
It takes suffering to widen the soul.
The word of God teaches that Christians suffer in order that they might glorify God in their lives.
The only thing He forgets is our sins.
Those who have suffered make the best comforters.
Death is robbed of much of its terror for the true believer.
Be careful before leaving someone in a sorrowing situation. Say a word of prayer with them and share even a brief word of encouragement from the Scriptures.
The Bible does not teach that sin is completely eradicated from the Christian in this life, but it does teach that sin shall no longer reign over you.
It may be difficult to understand why a test comes our way, but we must never forget that the test is accomplishing refining and purification.
We have perfected our weapons but failed to perfect the men who use them.
You cannot build a superstructure on a cracked foundation.
You can receive Christ into your heart, and he can bring joy, and a thrill, and glory such as you have never known – if you will give your life to him.
Truly, God works in mysterious ways. The wheels of His mercy and justice move quietly, but they do move.
Every successful work of God must have opposition.
Embracing conflict can be a joy when we know that irritation and frustration can lead to growth and the re-engergizing of ourselves and others. Hot heads and cold hearts never solved anything.
The happiness which brings enduring worth to life is not the superficial happiness that is dependent on circumstances. It is the happiness and contentment that fills the soul even in the midst of the most distressing of circumstances and most bitter environment.
I don’t have many sad days.
Our world is constantly changing but the needs of our hearts remain the same, and so does God’s power to transform our lives and give us hope for the future.
We do not understand the intricate pattern of the stars in their courses, but we know that He who created them does, and that just as surely as He guides them, He is charting a safe course for us.
