The deepest need that you and I have in weakness and adversity is not quick relief, but the well-grounded confidence that what is happening to us is part of the greatest purpose of God in the universe - the glorification of the grace and power of his Son - the grace and power that bore Him to the cross and kept him there until the work of love was done.
John PiperLife is precarious, and life is precious. Don't presume you will have it tomorrow, and don't waste it today.
John Piper
