Jody Hedlund quotes:

Hardships are the Lord's greatest blessings to the believer. Without them we would love the Lord only for what He does for us. Our troubles teach us to love Him for who He is." Sister Norton in "The Preacher's Bride

We have no control over the future. We can only make the most of the present.

Remember, we show courage in many ways.

God wanted him to go to Him with his deepest needs, to stop looking elsewhere, so that he could be made whole again.

For it is often the hardest tasks that build the most character.

You're following the Lord wholeheartedly, yet you're missing out on the forgiveness part. God's not just in the business of saving us from our sins. He's also in the business of forgiving those sins and putting them as far as the east is from the west.
