The next time you feel rejection's sting, remember God's words to Samuel: "It is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me." (1 Sam. 8:7)

Whatever God is urging you to clear away cannot begin to be compared to what He ultimately wants to bring you.

It's a strange thought that sometimes God trusts us more than we trust Him. God trusts you - can you trust Him?

For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned. Matthew 12:37

You haven't been through one thing that God cannot heal you from.

The purpose exceeds the pain.

Don't assume that God will always work in your life the way He always has. A sunset is proof that God colors outside the lines. He has no status quo. Even the laws of nature are His to interrupt. As many times as you've prayed before, today may be the day when God sends the answer so swiftly-so divinely-that you're windburned.
