God wants to use you to make a difference in His world. He wants to work through you. What matters is not the duration of your life, but the donation of it. Not how long you lived, but how you lived.
The only really happy people are those who have learned how to serve.
When God gives, he holds nothing back.
So I would say God hates war, but God loves every soldier.
Character is both developed and revealed by tests, and all of life is a test.
God's ultimate goal for your life on earth is not comfort, but character development. He wants you to grow up spiritually and become like Christ.
