Eternal glory in Christ

"And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ,

after you have suffered a little while,

will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

To Him be the power for ever and ever. Amen."

He takes the junk of our lives

"I grew up hearing everyone tell me 'God loves you'.

I would say big deal -- God loves everybody. That don't make me special!

That just proves that God ain't got no taste.

And I don't think He does. Thank God!

Because He takes the junk of our lives and He makes the most beautiful art of it."

~Rich Mullins

A larger hope

"The small and even overpowering pains of our lives are intimately connected

with the greater pains of Christ.

Our daily sorrows are anchored in a greater sorrow, and therefore a larger hope."

~Henri Nouwen
