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.

Faithfulness in the small things will lead to blessing in the big things.

No matter how much you may change or how life may change, God never changes, and His promises never fail.

Sometimes fear comes, not before the battle or even in the midst of the battle, but after we have won the victory.

If we see only the problems, we will be defeated; but if we see the possibilities in the problems, we can have victory.

It is a remarkable thing that some of the most optimistic and enthusiastic people you will meet are those who have been through intense suffering.

God doesn't always change the circumstances, but He can change us to meet the circumstances. That's what it means to live by faith.
