“There is nothing--no circumstance, no trouble, no testing--that can ever touch me until, first of all, it has gone past God and past Christ right through to me. If it has come that far, it has come with a great purpose, which I may not understand at the moment. But as I refuse to become panicky, as I lift up my eyes to Him and accept it as coming from the throne of God for some great purpose of blessing to my own heart, no sorrow will ever disturb me, no circumstance will cause me to fret, for I shall rest in the joy of what my Lord is--that is the rest of victory!” IfsLoveFirstsHeartMaySoulMomentsGodEyeChristianPastJoyPurposeJesusCausesUnderstandingChristMy OwnAcceptingLordGoneTroubleAcceptanceBecomingVictoryCircumstancesSorrowBlessingRefuseChristian InspirationalLiftsTouchingTrust In GodThronesPastorTestingCommitment To GodConfidence In GodGod Within UsTouch MeGod Is In ControlGod Works In Mysterious Ways Author:Alan Redpath

“Christ is building His kingdom with earth's broken things. Men want only the strong, the successful, the victorious, the unbroken, in building their kingdoms; but God is the God of the unsuccessful, of those who have failed. Heaven is filling with earth's broken lives, and there is no bruised reed that Christ cannot take and restore to glorious blessedness and beauty.
