Every single thing you've been through in your life has had a purpose.
We were created for the purpose of giving God's invisible character a glimpse of visibility.
A crushing hurt comes to our heart and the sympathizing, scarred hand of Christ presses the wound; and just for a moment,the pain seems to intensify,...bu t finally the bleeding stops.
God is just waiting for you to turn your face back toward Him. You've not gone too far!
God holds his people responsible for righteousness, not for results.
We need to learn how to give a defense for our belief in Christ without getting defensive.
