How can we bless at one moment and curse at another?

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

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

Well, painting is the one thing I do, that is just me. It's me and easels, and the pencils. And as long as I don't drool too much over the canvas, the colors come out pretty good. And it's a chance to express all that I've got inside, that I sometimes keep hidden. And I think that's why I paint big broad, wide open landscapes.

I had to be healed of my desire to be healed.

God's purpose in increasing our trials is to sensitize us to people we never would have been able to relate to otherwise.

I'd rather be in this wheelchair knowing God than on my feet without him.
