It is the fire of suffering that brings forth the gold of godliness ..Madame Guyon
God is behind every problem ...he uses circumstances to develop our character.... Your profound and intimate experiences of worship will likely be in our darkest days ..it is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heartfelt, honest-to-God prayers ... We learn things about God in suffering that we can't learn in any other way
Problems force us to look to God and depend on him instead of ourselves ...you will never know that a God is all you need until God is all you've got
Everything that happens to a child of God is father filtered ..he intends to use it for good ..has spiritual significance ..Romans 8:28-29 ..everything works together for good of those who love God ...God can bring good from the worst evil ...Calvery
Every problem is a character building opportunity ..refiner's fire
Vital to stay focused on God's plan, not the problem ..that is what Jesus did
Carrie ten Boom ...if you look to the world you'll be distressed. If you look within, you'll be depressed. But if you look at Christ you'll be at rest.
Pain is temporary, reward is eternal ...don't give in to short term thinking
Rejoice ..give thanks in all circumstances not for all circumstances ..God goes through the pain with us
Refuse to give up ..be patient and persistent ...character building is slow ...we can't short circuit the process .... Not comfort me .... But conform me prayers ...instead of why me? What am I to learn?
