Some things don't need to be cut back. They need to be cut off.

A big difference exists between trying to manipulate God to give us what we want and cooperating with God so He can give us what He wants.

When we end up in a situation where we have been rejected, there is an acceptance in Christ of a new place He is going to take us. It is like nothing we have ever experienced. You are accepted in Christ, never rejected by Him.

God's approval is a whole lot easier to get than man's.

God wants to wipe away your past and lift your burdens. Do you let Him?

Sometimes God allows us to explore the 'whys' of His instructions. Other times He wants us to obey 'because He said so.' Has God asked you to obey in a specific matter that still awaits your obedient response?

The purpose exceeds the pain.
