Amazing, isn't it, that our prayers...can move the very heart of God who created the universe?

Thankfully, God brought wise Christian friends alongside to help me discover life-transforming precepts in his Word.

The greatest good suffering can do for me is to increase my capacity for God.

We dare not think that God is absent or daydreaming. The do nothing God...He's not tucked away in some far corner of the universe, uncaring, unfeeling, unthinking, uninvolved. Count on it, God intrudes in glorious and myriad ways.

The weaker we feel, the harder we lean on God. And the harder we lean the stronger we grow.

God points to the peaceful attitude of suffering people to teach others about Himself.

When I look at Jesus' warm and intimate friendships, my heart fills with praise that Jesus was. . . a man. A man of flesh-and-blood reality. His heart felt the sting of sympathy. His eyes glowed with tenderness. His arms embraced. His lips smiled. His hands touched. Jesus was male! Jesus invites us to relate to him as the Son of Man. And because he is fully man, we can relate to Jesus with affection and love.
