The Purpose in Our Pain

The Purpose in Our Pain

 “Your faith makes you offer your lives as a sacrifice in serving God.” Philippians 2:17

When we face struggles, we often wonder, Why? Years from now, though, we may realize that it was those struggles that taught us something we could not have otherwise learned—that there was a purpose in our pain. God’s purpose is greater than your pain, and he has a greater purpose than your problems… Max Lucado

Prayer Quotations

“The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying.  He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work and prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but he trembles when we pray.”  Samuel Chadwick

“I would rather teach one man to pray than ten men to preach.”  Charles Spurgeon

Spiritual Awareness

We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey. - Stephen R. Cove

Quote on Gratitude

Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul…Henry Ward Beecher

Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others…Marcus Tullius Cicero

From the Bible

. I chose you when I planned creation

Ephesians 1:11-12  

11 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,

12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.

Run to Jesus

 “When I was desperate, I called out, and God got me out of a tight spot.”  Psalm 34:6, The Message.

Run to Jesus. Jesus wants you to go to him. He wants to become the most important person in your life, the greatest love you’ll ever know.  He wants you to love him so much that there’s no room in your heart and in your life for sin. Invite him to take up residence in your heart… Max Lucado
