Misery

Satan deceives people into thinking that the source of their misery is due to their circumstances and what is going around them, but actually, the real trouble is due to what is going on inside them.  When our focus is on God and His sovereignty, our attitudes begin to change.

God does not preserve believers from difficult circumstances, but he examines (or tests) both the righteous and the wicked.  For some, God's tests become a refining fine, while for others, they become an incinerator for destruction.

GOD HAS A REASON for allowing things to happen. We may never understand His wisdom, but we simply have to TRUST HIS WILL.

"Trials always change our relationship with God. Either they drive us to Him or they drive us away from Him." - Jerry Bridges

Taste and See ...

Our Christian life's journey on earth is to know God.  As such, we need to spend time reading His love letter that was written to us.  When we read the Bible, a miracle happens in the deepest part of us and strengthen our spiritual man.

Christians primarily read the Bible for transformation and not for information.

..head knowledge is never the same as heart knowledge. That is why Psalm 34:8 proclaims, "Taste and see that the Lord is good, blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him."

John Piper argues that, in the end, theology in itself is insufficient to change our hearts. There is something more that is needed. "There is a knowledge that only comes through tasting ...

MANY PEOPLE WILL WALK IN AND OUT OF OUR LIFE, BUT ONLY TRUE FRIENDS WILL LEAVE FOOTPRINTS IN OUR HEART

Everyone is important

I love this quote.  “In life, you will realize there is a role for everyone you meet.   Some will test you, some will use you, some will love you, and some with teach you.   But the ones who are truly important are the ones who bring out the best in you.  They are the rare and amazing people who remind you why it’s worth it.”

Those who have tested me may have been the hardest to deal with, even though their testing has been a gift – urging me on to bigger and better things.  Or, conversely, trying to make me feel small and inadequate – a lesson in either case. - Clare Myatt
