Charles Spurgeon’s comment, “He who has made you His child, will put you to school, and teach you until you shall know the Lord Jesus as the way, the truth, and the life.” What a sobering truth to grasp! If you and I are committed to following Christ, we will be confronted with issues that teach and reteach us to know He is who He says He is. Our difficulties and trials will bring about change and so will our praying. Our lives are not about us, but about loving Him and making Him known.
“We can make the right answer sound old hat, but I guarantee this: God will surprise you. He will make you stop. You will struggle. He will bring you up short. You will hurt. He will take his time. You will grow in faith and in love. He will deeply delight you. You will find the process harder than you ever imagined--and better.” - David A. Powlison, God's Grace in Your Suffering
