"There is nothing, no circumstance, no trouble, no testing that can ever touch me until, first of all, it has come past God and past Christ, right through to me. If it has come that far, it has come with a great purpose."
- By Alan Redpath
I've had this quote in one of my journals for a long time now. The truth found in those words are comforting for me. I know that no matter what I go through, no matter what trials I face, that God has allowed me to go through that. And if He has allowed me to go through it, it is for a great purpose.
“In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;”
- 1 Peter 1:6-7 (NASB)
