“ Maybe the truly handicapped people are the ones that don't need God as much. ”
Sometimes God allows what he hates to accomplish what he loves.
~ Joni Eareckson Tada
Suffering provides the gym equipment on which my faith can be exercised.
Jesus went without comfort so that you might have it. He postponed joy so that you might share in it. He willingly chose isolation so that you might never be alone in your hurt and sorrow. He had no real fellowship so that fellowship might be yours, this moment. This alone is enough cause for great gratitude!
He has chosen not to heal me, but to hold me. The more intense the pain, the closer His embrace.
