“As I took up life as a minister, I tried to understand why so many people resisted and rejected God, I soon realized that perhaps that main reason was affliction and suffering. ...But at the same time, I learned that just as many people find God through affliction and suffering. They find that adversity moves them toward God rather than away. ...When pain and suffering come upon us, we finally see not only that we are not in control of our lives, but that we never were.”
Timothy J. Keller“While Christianity was able to agree with pagan writers that inordinate attachment to earthly goods can lead to unnecessary pain and grief, it also taught that the answer to this was not to love things less but to love God more than anything else. Only when our greatest love is God, a love that we cannot lose even in death, can we face all things with peace. Grief was not to be eliminated but seasoned and buoyed up with love and hope.”
Timothy J. Keller, Walking with God through Pain and Suffering“When we appropriate God's great enablers-His grace and His peace-we can achieve gentleness and calmness even during hard times.”
Kay Arthur, Walking with God in the Quiet Places: Devotions for Women“I have learned in my journey of faith that, the closer I am walking with God, the more likely the devil will be working to make me stumble.”
Tracie Miles, Stressed-Less Living: Finding God's Peace in Your Chaotic World“The ability to extend kindness requires an other-awareness. We are apt to miss the needs of those around us if we remain self-focused. Helping children to see the needs of others will bless them with perspective on their own lives, as well as propel them toward good works that display the kindness of God.”
Melissa B. Kruger, Walking with God in the Season of Motherhood: An Eleven-Week Devotional Bible Study“I can be happy or unhappy in all situations. I am sure of it, because I have been. I have felt distraught and joyful in situations of abundance as well as poverty, in situations of popularity and anonymity, in situations of success and failure. The difference was never based on the situation itself, but always on my state of mind and heart. When I knew I was walking with God, I always felt happy and at peace. When I was entangled in my own complaints and emotional needs, I always felt restless and divided.”
Henri J.M. Nouwen“We can only bear the fruit of patience when we have something to be patient about.”
Melissa B. Kruger, Walking with God in the Season of Motherhood: An Eleven-Week Devotional Bible Study“In Jesus the performance pendulum stops — both the pride of success and the despair of failure are absorbed by grace.”
