When a house is on fire and you know that there are people in it, it is a sin to straighten pictures in that house. When the world about you is in great danger, works that are in themselves not sinful can be quite wrong.

It hurts when God has to PRY things out of our hand!

I soon discovered that man's importunity is God's opportunity. he uses our problems as building materials for his miracles. I began to understand that this was my first lesson in learning to trust him completely, my first steps on the path to complete dependence on, and obedience to, his guidance.

No matter how deep our darkness, he is deeper still.

What joy that the Bible tells us the great comfort that the best is yet to be. Our outlook goes beyond this world.

Only Heaven will reveal the top part of God's tapestry

Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength- carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.
