If you had never known physical pain in your life, how could you appreciate the nail scarred hands with which Jesus Christ will meet you?

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

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.

Often when people are diagnosed with a life-changing medical condition, they feel overwhelmed. They feel choked by darkness and hopelessness. Those are times when answers simply do not suffice. That's because answers don't always reach the problem where it hurts: in the gut and in the heart.

True, God hates Alzheimer's, spinal cord injury, mental illness, autism, and the rest (these conditions are all symptoms of the Fall). Yet he permits these things to accomplish something far more precious in our lives: patience, endurance, compassion for others who hurt, and refined faith and trust in God, to name a few.

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!

The Bible isn't quick to give answers; it mainly gives the Answer.
