God grades on the cross, not the curve. God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage. He who is good at making excuses is seldom good for anything else. Kindness is difficult to give away because it keeps coming back. Most people want to serve God, but only in an advisory capacity.
Nothing ruins the truth like stretching it.
It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark. The task ahead of us is never as great as the Power behind us. The Will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you. We're too blessed to be depressed. When God ordains, He sustains.
