"Remember this truth tonight in whatever uncertainties you face: God is good, and God is good at being God." - LT

"God didn't save you from the ocean to drown you in the bathtub."

"All of us will endure difficult circumstances in our lives. No one can completely escape all suffering. But as believers in an all-powerful, loving God, we know that He will take us through these low places to prepare us for ascending new heights." - Charles Stanley

"When we get to know God—really know Him—it fills us with hope and confidence because we realize He’s greater than any situation we will ever encounter." - JM

When God gets us alone through suffering, heartbreak, temptation, disappointment, sickness, or by thwarted desires, a broken friendship--when He gets us absolutely alone, and we are totally speechless, unable to ask even one question, then He begins to teach us." - Oswald Chambers

“There are times that our suffering and sadness seem to overwhelm us and, no matter how hard we pray or ask God to ease our burden, we can feel alone and abandoned. Know that God does hear you and feels your pain and is working to bring you a brighter future. It is knowing He is working to bring that to you that gives hope; it is that hope that can lighten your load and make your current suffering more tolerable.” – Elmer Laydon

In real estate it’s all about, “Location! Location! Location!” In knowing God it’s all about, “Perspective! Perspective! Perspective!” When we trust God, we’re able to see Him working in our circumstances, because we finally see our lives from His perspective; and when we see life from God’s perspective, at last, we see God working in our lives. But all of this will take one word: trust, and precious few people trust God enough to believe that what He allows will work for their good. Most people spend their lives wishing something different were happening to them. Trust Jesus! Let Him guide every aspect of your life, and you’ll learn to love the life He’s given you. Why? Because He does! “...it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.” (Philippians 2:13) - Francis Anfuso

"A dysfunctional mindset has the tendency to blame its excesses, obsessions, rages, tantrums and behaviors on past experiences. Make the choice to become more than what has happened to you." - TDJ

"The surf that distresses the ordinary swimmer produces in the surf-rider the super joy of going clean through it. Apply that to our own circumstances; these very things—tribulation, distress, persecution—produce in us the super joy; they are not things to fight. We are more than conquerors through Him in all these things; not in spite of them, but in the midst of them." – Oswald Chambers

“The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.” Tom Bodett

“We are all afflicted with something: sickness, debt, job issues, family or relationship problems… and sometimes we feel so alone in our struggles. Although answers, solutions, and cures may not come overnight, know that God stands with you and waits for you to turn your cares over to Him so He may help shoulder your burden.” - I hope you have a wonderful day today my friends! – Elmer Laydon
