Faith is not a hothouse plant that must be shielded from wind and rain, so delicate that it has to be protected, but it’s like the sturdy oak which becomes stronger with every wind that blows upon it. An easy time weakens faith, while strong trials strengthen it.

We cannot control other people and their actions but we can control how we act and react to them.

As you abide in Christ, you will have strength for today’s trials as well as for all tomorrow’s challenges.

Your trials and difficulties are a golden opportunity for joy.

Trials are not meant to defeat you. They are meant to be defeated.
