Let God enlarge you when you are going through distress. He can do it. You can't do it, and others can't do it for you.

When 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

Remember, your worth is founded in Jesus Christ.

Christians have a dual citizenship - on earth and in heaven - and our citizenship in heaven ought to make us better people here on earth.

Jesus asked the Father for his disciples' security, sanctity and unity. Jesus still intercedes for us so fervently because we live in a world that is deceived, dangerous, defiled and divided.

If you look to others you will be distracted; if you look to yourselves you will be discouraged; but if you look to Christ you'll be delighted.

Jonah saw God's will as punishment. Jesus saw God's will as nourishment.
