![Life is [perceived as] a series of problems: Either you are in one now,
you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one.

God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.

The goal is to grow in character, in Christ likeness.](/assets/img/quote-photos/life-is-perceived-as-a-series-of-problems-either-you-are-in-one-now-youre-j.jpg)
