God intentionally allows you to go through painful experiences to equip you for ministry to others.

Where the grass is greener, the water bill is bigger.

Measured against eternity, our time on earth is just a blink of an eye, but the consequences of it will last forever.

It's easy to explain away evil. We have a free choice, and our greatest blessing is also our greatest curse, because I don't always make good choices. Other people make bad choices. I make bad choices. And sometimes we hurt other people. Sometimes intentionally, sometimes unintentionally.

God's purpose is greater than our problems, our pain and even our sin.

Whenever you feel unimportant, unloved, or insecure, remember to who you belong.

You drift through life and let things happen to you, or go by design and say, 'This is what I'm intended to do.' The Bible is very clear that God has a purpose. But even if I know that purpose, I can't fulfill it if I'm out of shape.
