2 Quotes by Cynthia Ulrich Tobias

Living all out for God certainly doesn't mean we'll have a safe life. It's not supposed to be safe-or particularly easy. That doesn't mean it always has to be full of turmoil and trials; it just means we want so much of God that we're willing to do whatever He asks us to do. It also means we have a rock-solid faith and a deep, abiding joy that doesn't depend on our circumstances.

Jesus reminds us in Luke 16:10, "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much" (NIV). Obedience-both in big ways and small ones-matters if we want to live a life of strength and purpose.
