"Sometimes asking God for a reason for something is like asking Him why the sky is blue. There is a complex, scientific reason for it, but most are content with knowing it is blue because it is. If we understood everything, we would have no need for faith.

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him."

~Hebrews 11:1, 6

"You see this pottery? It had to be formed and fired, painted and re-fired, for it to turn out as beautiful and colorful and useful as it is now. There are days when I feel like that's where I am. In the fire, burning up. That's when I have to remind myself that I'm in the kiln, being handmade into some useful new vessel for the Lord."

"But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed."

~2 Corinthians 4:7-9

"Love is a weakness in which lies our strength."


                                                                                          ~C.H. Spurgeon

"Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

~Matthew 11:28-30
