Every great story has a great conflict that’s been overcome.
suffering
Choose God’s will
No healthy Christian ever chooses suffering; he chooses God’s will, as Jesus did, whether it means suffering or not. -Oswald Chambers
Peace is not absence of struggles
Peace is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of God. Shalom.
What God hates
Sometimes God allows what He hates to accomplish what He loves. – Joni Eareckson Tada
Violence for violence is NOT the answer
Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

Giants so large we can’t even see the top of their heads, much less fathom the full extent of the damage they are about to do, or are doing, to our lives.
