The times we find ourselves having to wait on others may be the perfect opportunities to train ourselves to wait on the Lord.

God deliberately chooses weak, suffering and unlikely candidates to get His work done, so that in the end, the glory goes to God and not to the person.

Suffering is arguably God's choicest tool in shaping the character of Christ in us.

Deny your weakness, and you will never realize God's strength in you.

Each one of us is God's special work of art. Through us, He teaches and inspires, delights and encourages, informs and uplifts all those who view our lives.

Yes, I pray that my pain might be removed, that it might cease; but more so, I pray for the strength to bear it, the grace to benefit from it, and the devotion to offer it up to God as a sacrifice of praise.

Faith isn't the ability to believe long and far into the misty future. It's simply taking God at His Word and taking the next step.
