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

God cares most not about making us comfortable, but about teaching us to hate our transgressions and to grow up spiritually to love him.

Cancer is such a wake-up call to remind us how high the cosmic stakes really are and how short and brief and frail life really is.

My longings are best met when, in prayer, I simply let my heart beat in time with the Lord's.

God always seems bigger to those who need him most. And suffering is the tool he uses to help us need him more.

God turns on its head one form of evil - suffering - in order to defeat another form of evil - that is, our transgressions. It happened at the cross, and it occurs in the lives of followers of Christ every day.

Maybe the truly handicapped people are the ones that don't need God as much.
