If we will look back upon the past, many of us will find that the very time our Heavenly Father has chosen to do the kindest things for us, and given us the richest blessings, has been the time we were strained and shut in on every side. God’s jewels are often sent us in rough packages… but within we find the very treasures of the King’s palace and the Bridegroom’s love.
Rescue
Paul David Tripp
God is using the difficulties of the here and now to transform you, that is, to rescue you from you. And because He loves you, He will willingly interrupt or compromise your momentary happiness in order to accomplish one more step in the process of rescue and transformation, which Hinterruptione is unshakably committed to.
R C Sproul
God just doesn’t throw a life preserver to a drowning person. He goes to the bottom of the sea, and pulls a corpse from the bottom of the sea, takes him up on the bank, breathes into him the breath of life and makes him alive.
