Deny your weakness, and you will never realize God’s strength in you.
One of the most wonderful things about knowing God is that there’s always so much more to know, so much more to discover. Just when we least expect it, He intrudes into our neat and tidy notions about who He is and how He works.
A broken life in the hands of God is ripe for blessing.
Alzheimer’s disease is never an ‘accident’ in a marriage. It falls under the purview of God’s sovereignty. In the case of someone with Alzheimer’s, this means God’s unconditional and sacrificial love has an opportunity to be even more gloriously displayed in a life together.
Each one of us is God’s special work of art. Through us, He teaches and inspires, delights and encourages, informs and uplifts all those who view our lives.
Love is extravagant in the price it is willing to pay, the time it is willing to give, the hardships it is willing to endure, and the strength it is willing to spend. Love never thinks in terms of “how little,” but always in terms of “how much.” Love gives, love knows, and love lasts.
There is nothing that moves a loving father’s soul quite like his child’s cry.
Maybe the truly handicapped people are the ones that don’t need God as much.
What an encouragement to realize that God has reserved you and me for a special task in His great work. In His hands we’re not only useful, but priceless.
Subdue your heart to match your circumstances.
AS a matter of fact, God isn’t asking you to be thankful. He’s asking you to give thanks. There’s a big difference. One response involves emotions, the other your choices, your decisions about a situation, your intent, your ’step of faith.
Suffering provides the gym equipment on which my faith can be exercised.
The best we can hope for in this life is a knothole peek at the shining realities ahead. Yet a glimpse is enough. It’s enough to convince our hearts that whatever sufferings and sorrow currently assail us aren’t worthy of comparison to that which waits over the horizon.
Life becomes inspiring, not in spite of the problems and the hard hits, but because of them.
No other religion, no other, promises new bodies, hearts, and minds. Only in the gospel of Christ do hurting people find such incredible hope.
God’s purpose in increasing our trials is to sensitize us to people we never would have been able to relate to otherwise.
My weakness, that is, my quadriplegia, is my greatest asset because it forces me into the arms of Christ every single morning when I get up.
If you truly believe in the value of life, you care about all of the weakest and most vulnerable members of society.
God is truly on the side of those who work for social justice, especially when we accompany that work with the giving of the Gospel!
The greatest good suffering can do for me is to increase my capacity for God.
