Do not let anyone convince you that if it were really God it would not be so scary and it certainly would not hurt. Hang on with everything that is in you, even if it hurts. Insist on a blessing to go with your wound and do not let go until you have got one. Then thank God for your life, limp and all, and tilt your way home.
Blessing
Peter Marshall
God will not permit any troubles to come upon us, unless He has a specific plan by which great blessing can come out of the difficulty.
Joy Dawson
Disobeying God is the same as telling Him to hold back all of the blessings that come with obedience. That is not only stupidity, it’s insanity.
Charles R. Swindoll
When God’s in it, it flows. When the flesh is in it, it’s forced. If he is in it, it’s remarkable how approval will be granted, how our growing interest will percolate, and how the timing will fall right into place. It will come together, almost in spite of you.
Henry Ward Beecher
The unthankful heart discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!

Strength, rest, guidance, grace, help, sympathy, love – all from God to us!! What a list of blessings!

Never undertake anything for which you wouldn’t have the courage to ask the blessing of heaven.
A. W. Tozer
The degree of blessing enjoyed by any man will correspond exactly with the completeness of God’s victory over him.
Anne Graham Lotz
Often, in the midst of great problems, we stop short of the real blessing God has for us, which is a fresh vision of who He is.
Brother Yun
We never pray against our government or call down curses on them. Instead, we have learned that God is in control both of our own lives and the government we live under. God has used China’s government for His own purposes, molding and shaping His children as He sees fit. Instead of focusing our prayers against any political system, we pray that regardless of what happens to us, we will be pleasing to God.
Brother Yun is a Chinese Christian who has been severely persecuted for his faith.
