Suffering always prompts heart-wrenching questions: if God is good, why would He allow this pain in my life? Is God truly sovereign over accidents and birth anomalies, or does the devil set the world's agenda? How do I counsel people who are despairing of their condition?

God permits what He hates in order to accomplish something that He loves.

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

God lets us continue to feel much of sin's sting through suffering while we're heading for heaven. This constantly reminds us of what we're being delivered from; exposing sin for the poison it is.

God is truly on the side of those who work for social justice, especially when we accompany that work with the giving of the Gospel!

My wheelchair was the key to seeing all this happen—especially since God’s power always shows up best in weakness. So here I sit … glad that I have not been healed on the outside, but glad that I have been healed on the inside. Healed from my own self-centered wants and wishes.

Perspective is everything when you are experiencing the challenges of life.
