“ … The way, not to be alone is to be alone … for certainly the God that makes all other good company, must need to be best himself.” -Mary Rich From 5 Puritan Women by Jenny-Lyn de Klerk

“Every atom in the universe is managed by Christ, so as to be most to the advantage of every Christian, every particle of air, or every ray of sun …in the other world, when he comes to see it, [he]shall sit &enjoy all this vast inheritance with …amazing joy.” - Jonathan Edwards

“We can see backward—to the cloud of witnesses and martyrs who told us the truth. We can see way, way forward—to the wiping away of all tears. We just can’t see right ahead of us. But we know that whatever happens … underneath are the everlasting arms.” -@drmoore

“Even in the most painful of times, some pains are more precious than all other gains. Those pains have a purpose, there is a redemptive promise about them, and a hope of something eternal and unfading on the other side.” -@MatthewJHall

Oh, there are things done in the world today Would root up faith, but for Gethsemane. For Calvary interprets human life: No path of pain but there we meet our Lord; And all the strain, the terror and the strife, Die down like waves before His peaceful word. -Amy Charmichael

"Don't panic when your life is out of control, you never had control anyway. Your life is under the rule of One who is wise, holy and good." - Paul Tripp

We can evaluate our day by whether it brought us more pleasure or more pain, or we can interpret each day in faith that the kind providence of God was working all things for our ultimate good, which is conformity to Christ, who’s graciously shaping his own character within us.

"Change happens not just by giving the mind new arguments but also by feeding the imagination new beauties" - Tim Keller

“God works—invisibly, slowly, effectually—through fidelity and not through vitality, by disciples and not by edgelords.“ - @drmoore

“You will learn far more in the thorns than you will in the third heaven.” -Hershael York on 2 Corinthians 12

When @TimKellerNYC was 24 years old, he was a new pastor in rural Virginia. Alice was an elderly Christian who had suffered enormously in her life. More than four decades later, Keller still remembered her perspective.

I was thankful for this message from @plattdavid when he preached it at TGCW24, and I was thankful for it today as I listened again. youtube.com/watch?v=EvGB56…

"God uses affliction in our lives to create longing in our hearts to provoke pursuit of his word for comfort he alone can give." —@jeremypierre

What is sown in the season of cold and darkness will be a rich harvest in the season of warmth and brightness. -@challies

This too will turn to joy, though now in sorrow laden. “It is finished was his cry,” so I will be unshaken.

A Christian with no joy, is like a rich man who’s convinced he’s poor.

@jake_stone89 There’s so many good flavors in the world not adequately represented in Region 4; that’s why 9 has it beat. That being said, Louisville is still one of my favorite cities for food and coffee.

There is no debate, folks! Region 4.

Psalm 55:22 Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.
