Suffering provides the gym equipment on which my faith can be exercised.

The truth of the matter is, Satan and God may want the exact same event to take place - but for different reasons. Satan's motive in Jesus' crucifixion was rebellion; God's motive was love and mercy. Satan was a secondary cause behind the Crucifixion, but it was God who ultimately wanted it, willed it, and allowed Satan to carry it out. And the same holds true for disease.

The best we can hope for in this life is a knothole peek at the shining realities ahead. Yet a glimpse is enough. It's enough to convince our hearts that whatever sufferings and sorrow currently assail us aren't worthy of comparison to that which waits over the horizon.

Thats what I love about serving God. In His eyes, there are no little people...because there are no big people. We are all on the same playing field

Only God is capable of telling us what our rights and needs are. You have to surrender that right to Him.

Faith means being sure of what we hope for now. It means knowing something is real, this moment, all around you, even when you don't see it.

Let him who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God.
