Even in my despair, I knew in a vague way that the Bible held hope for me in its pages. I just didn't know where to begin.

God is more concerned with conforming me to the likeness of His Son than leaving me in my comfort zones. God is more interested in inward qualities than outward circumstances - things like refining my faith, humbling my heart, cleaning up my thought life and strengthening my character.

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

I want to stay in the habit of 'glancing' at my problems and 'gazing' at my Lord.

Subdue your heart to match your circumstances.

My life goal is to see the world's one billion people with disabilities embraced and encouraged by the church.

Even at the cross, God permitted what he hated - the unjust and agonizing death of his own precious Son - in order to accomplish something he prized above his own Son's cruel death; that is, salvation for a world of sinners. So the world's worst murder becomes the world's only salvation.
