Though this world with devils filled
Should threaten to undo us
We will not fear, for God has willed
His truth to triumph through us.

“Our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all��� (2 Corinthians 4:17). What is coming will make sense of what is happening now. Let God finish his work. https://t.co/OOVzLKAtNk

This is my Father's world
The battle is not done
Jesus who died shall be satisfied
And earth and heaven be one.

This is my Father's world
O let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong
God is the Ruler yet.

Crown him the Lord of peace
Whose power a scepter sways
From pole to pole, that wars may cease
And all be prayer and praise.

God often puts us in situations that are too much for us so that we will learn that no situation is too much for him. / Erwin W. Lutzer #Quotations

God does not offer us a way out of the testings of life. He offers us a way through, and that makes all the difference. / W.T. Purkiser #Quotations

The Christ speaks: Because of my cross, I am able to protect you; in my cross alone is your salvation. The cross pours out peace, strength, and joy on believing saints. Integrity is in the cross; there I perfect holiness. --The Imitation of Christ: The Beatitudes Edition

[Edythe Draper @EdytheDraper]

The Christ speaks: Love me for who I am--not for my blessings. Love me as much in anguish as when I console you. Pure love is powerful, it's untainted with self-interest, it seeks nothing for itself.

[Edythe Draper @EdytheDraper]

The Christ speaks: I have many friends who love my heavenly Kingdom but few who will carry my cross. I have many who want comfort but few who welcome adversity. I have many who are willing to share my supper, but few who share my fasting.

Remember Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego? God didn't put out the fire. He put Jesus in there with them. They came out unsinged and without smoke.

It's not about God stopping the bad things; it's about Who's in there with you.
