When we learn from experience, the scars of sin can lead us to restoration and a renewed intimacy with God.

God's arrows of affliction are sharp and painful so He can get our attention. He won't let His beloved children get away with sin because He knows it robs us of blessings, opportunities, and even character refinement.

God has ways of shaking the world when He is at work. He literally caused the ground to quake when Jesus died on the cross.

With God, there is always a future.

The circumstances and events that we see as setbacks are oftentimes the very things that launch us into periods of intense spiritual growth

As children of a sovereign God, we are never victims of our circumstances.

Disappointments will come and go, but discouragement is a choice that you make.
