Weak



Humble



Yet trusting...



"Despair does not lie in being weary of suffering but in being weary of joy." - G. K. Chesterton


"When our plans are interrupted, his are not. His plans are proceeding exactly as scheduled, moving us always (including those minutes or hours or years which seem most useless or waster or endurable) 'toward the goal of true maturity." (Romans 12:1) - E. Elliot


"When you and I hurt deeply, what we really need is not an explanation from God but a revelation of God. We need to see HOW GREAT GOD IS; we need to recover our lost perspective of life. Things get out of proportion when we are suffering, and it takes a vision of something bigger than ourselves to get life's dimensions adjusted again." - W. Wiersbe


"The "why?" becomes unimportant when we believe that God can and will redeem the pain for our good and for His glory when I put the sovereignty of God beside his unfailing love, my heart can rest." - V. Davis


"If Christ calls me to suffer, He will strengthen me to suffer in such a way that God is glorified." - J. Burroughs


"In a way I wish I could take to heaven me old, tattered Everest and Jennings wheelchair. I would point to the empty seat and say, "Lord, for decades I was paralyzed in this chair. But it showed me how paralyzed you must have felt to be nailed to Your cross. My limitations taught me something about the limitations you endured when you laid aside your robes of state and put on the indignity of human flesh." At that point, with my strong and glorified body, I might sit in it, rub the arm rests with my hands, I look up at Jesus, and add, "The weaker I felt in this chair, the harder I leaned on You. And the harder I leaned, the more I discovered how strong You are. Thank you, Jesus for leaning obedience in your suffering...you gave me grace to learn obedience in mine." - Joni Eareckson Tada
