God Uses Everything

"When I understand that everything happening to me
is to make me more Christlike,
it resolves a great deal of anxiety."
~ A.W. Tozer

Matthew 5:3–4, Message paraphrase:
“You’re blessed when you’re at the end of your rope.
With less of you there is more of God and his rule.
You’re blessed when you feel you’ve lost what is most dear to you.
Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you.”
~ Eugene Peterson

“When we lose what is most dear to us on earth,
we value our heavenly Father’s embrace even more.”
