Sometimes God allows what he hates to accomplish what he loves.

Suffering provides the gym equipment on which my faith can be exercised.

There is this fine line between presenting to You all of my weakness and thinking that it can't be done. In Your strength, I find my own.

Faith isn't the ability to believe long and far into the misty future. It's simply taking God at His Word and taking the next step.

Faith means being sure of what we hope for now. It means knowing something is real, this moment, all around you, even when you don't see it.

How can we bless at one moment and curse at another?

The problem of suffering is not about something but about someone.

Each one of us is God's special work of art. Through us, He teaches and inspires, delights and encourages, informs and uplifts all those who view our lives.

God always seems bigger to those who need him most. And suffering is the tool he uses to help us need him more.
