If there are a thousand steps between us and God, He will take all but one. He will leave the final one for us. The choice is ours.

I choose gentleness... Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.

God's solution is a prayer away!

Initially, when I first became a Christian and got into ministry, my thought was that God existed to make my life better and to take me to Heaven. Now I realize that it is not about me at all. It is all about God and that He did this to display His plan to restore the Earth to the Garden of Eden state.

Feed your fears and your faith will starve. Feed your faith, and your fears will.

The Bible teaches us that God does not cause pain, but that He uses pain and evil to advance His cause and shape His servants.
