Image
The issue for us is trusting God enough to trust also His timing. If we can truly believe He has our welfare at heart, may we not let His plans unfold as He thinks best?

Power is most safe with those who are not in love with it!
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
The submission of one's will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God's altar. The many other things we 'give' are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us.

God is very serious about joy in the lives of His children.

The soul is like a violin string: it makes music only when it is stretched.
