If you allow it, [suffering] can be the means by which God brings you His greatest blessings.

Your call will become clear as as your mind is transformed by the reading of Scripture and the internal work of God's Spirit. The Lord never hides His will from us. In time, as you obey the call first to follow, your destiny will unfold before you. The difficulty will lie in keeping other concerns from diverting your attention.

It's the nature of the beast within us to keep going back to the familiar rather than to strap on faith and face the future.

It's a delightful thing to receive a good word just at your time of need. Encourage someone today.

God would love to piece together the shattered fragments of your life. But He is waiting ... graciously waiting until the time is right. Until you are tired of the life you are living ... until you see it for what it really is. Until you are weary of coping ... of taking charge of your own life ... until you realize the mess you are making of it. Until you recognize your need for Him ... He's waiting.

God also allows suffering so that we might learn what it means to depend on Him, not on our own strength and resources.

Lead with action and let the feelings follow.
