It is a sure sign that you are alive.

God already knows what we’re made of,
but perhaps He wants us to learn what we’re made of.
I think we would all agree that we learn more from our tough times
than from our easy times.

God isn’t finished with us yet.
When we forget this fact, we get stuck.
Kenneth Copeland
***
As we journey through this life –
through the easy times and the painful times –
God is fashioning us into people who are like his Son, Jesus.
That means God is in the process of changing what we desire far more
than he is in the process of giving us what we desire.
Charles Stanley

Being human means you will make mistakes.
And you will make mistakes,
because failure is God’s way of moving you in another direction.
Oprah Winfrey
***
God gave us pain to remind us we are alive,
so we will learn to value the joys and beauty of the world.

The greater your knowledge of the goodness and grace of God on your life,
the more likely you are to praise Him in the storm.
Matt Chandler
***
If we ask God for a calm, thankful heart
that sees all the blessings His grace imparts,
He can teach us many lessons in illness
that can never be learned in health.
David Jeremiah
***
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Reinhold Niebuhr
