As believers, our reaction to crisis reveals our heart toward God.

Lord, help us to choose humility over pride.
Help us to choose love over our reputation.
Help us to choose patience over making a point, and your Word over our feelings.
Lord, help us to choose perseverance over the easy way out.

He is the best sailor who can steer within fewest points of the wind, and exact a motive power out of the greatest obstacles.

I often think of life as a great darkened room with a mammoth-sized tapestry fastened to a stone wall. I believe true peace can be achieved not in viewing the whole tapestry, but in accepting without bitterness those portions we have been afforded the luxury to see.

Adversity only makes us stronger.
Every adversity we overcome makes our spirit and soul grow stronger.

God will not allow you to add the words "next time" to now faith.
