We do not serve a distant and detached God who spouts encouraging cliches safely from the sideline. Instead, he enters into our suffering. Jesus did it in the Incarnation and his Spirit does it in us now. God will never leave us alone in our suffering.
Rick WarrenExperience is not what happens to you. It is what you do with what happens to you. Donโt waste your pain; use it to help others.
Rick WarrenWhy is this happening to me? Why am I having such a difficult time? One answer is that life is supposed to be difficult! Itโs what enables us to grow. Remember, earth is not heaven!
