No one whose first concern is feeling good can be a disciple. We are called to carry a cross and to glorify God.

Think of this- we may live together with Him here and now, a daily walking with Him who loved us and gave Himself for us.

I realized that the deepest spiritual lessons are not learned by His letting us have our way in the end, but by His making us wait, bearing with us in love and patience until we are able to honestly to pray what He taught His disciples to pray: Thy will be done.

God never denies us our hearts desire except to give us something better.

Supreme authority in both church and home has been divinely vested in the male as the representative of Christ, who is Head of the church. It is in willing submission rather than grudging capitulation that the woman in the church (whether married or single) and the wife in the home find their fulfillment.

Teach me to treat all that comes to me with peace of soul and with firm conviction that Your will governs all.

God has promised to supply all our needs. What we don't have now, we don't need now.
