We must never mistake the process for the result...there is suffering; but this is only the process. God isn't going to stop with the process; He wants to produce the final result. Suffering leads to glory; shame leads to honor; weakness leads to power. This is God's way of doing things.
Warren W. WiersbeThe Christian life is a pilgrimage from earth to heaven, and our task is to take as many as possible with us as we make this journey.
Warren W. WiersbeWe do not understand and then obey: that is instruction. We obey by faith, and then we understand: that is illumination.
Warren W. WiersbeNever underestimate the importance of simply being physically present in the place God wants you. You may not be asked to perform some dramatic ministry, but simply being there is a ministry.
Warren W. WiersbeWhen you and I hurt deeply, what we really need is not an explanation from God but a revelation of God. We need to see how great God is; we need to recover our lost perspective on life. Things get out of proportion when we are suffering, and it takes a vision of something bigger than ourselves to get life's dimensions adjusted again
