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

He has chosen not to heal me, but to hold me. The more intense the pain, the closer His embrace.

When life is rosy, we may slide by with knowing about Jesus, with imitating him and quoting him and speaking of him. But only in suffering will we know Jesus.

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.

It is a glorious thing to know that your Father God makes no mistakes in directing or permitting that which crosses the path of your life. It is the glory of God to conceal a matter. It is our glory to trust Him, no matter what.

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

There is nothing that moves a loving father's soul quite like his child's cry.
