”The safest place in all the world is in the will of God. ” Warren Wiersbe

But we object, “Jesus lived in the will of God and look what happened to Him, He was crucified. ” The God of all creation answers, “Yes, look at Him resurrected, seated at my right hand.” Even a child understands what it means to have ultimate victory.

I am grateful that the only problem I have getting enough to eat each day, is that there are always too many choices to choose from.

I have never known a day of hunger. Abundance surrounds me every day. As God is gracious to me, let me be gracious with all that He has entrusted to me. A grateful heart is a generous heart.

”Judge privately, not publicly. James Farrington

Once we share our judgments about others, we can never take them back, which means we may affect the judgments that others have of us. We all make judgments and they are necessary to live wisely. “A wise man once said, “nothing.” Keep your judgments to yourself.

“We like the fact that it is hard because it makes the fun of it more fun.” Expedition Evans

I read a post that said “Life is hard, make it harder and buy a boat.” It is common knowledge that God uses hard times to nurture in us the character of a mature inner life. Plug away with an enduring attitude. Learn to enjoy and appreciate the process that develops spiritual health and vitality. 

“Consider it pure joy… whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” James 1 Conversations Within” Jul 17, 2026 ts

“God is even kinder than you think.” St Theresa

When God lays His hand upon His children, it is always a loving hand. This is true as much for His hand of discipline as it is for the hand of encouragement or help or comfort. God offers us many hands. I wonder if there is any hand more precious than His healing hand. Of course healing hands sometimes have a scalpel in them.
