christian attitude people
God points to the peaceful attitude of suffering people to teach others about Himself.
people suffering realizing
Now, most people who suffer realize that the Bible contains answers for their plight; they just don't know where to look.
hurt disappointment people
Many people in the throes of suffering, disappointment, and despair, feel utterly stuck in their circumstances. They see no hope beyond their day-to-day drudgery of disability routines; but when hurting families place themselves under the shower of God's mercy, suddenly the clouds part. They realize there's hope, life, and even joy beyond their suffering.
goal people church
My life goal is to see the world's one billion people with disabilities embraced and encouraged by the church.
pain people suffering
Suffering always prompts heart-wrenching questions: if God is good, why would He allow this pain in my life? Is God truly sovereign over accidents and birth anomalies, or does the devil set the world's agenda? How do I counsel people who are despairing of their condition?
people trials able
God's purpose in increasing our trials is to sensitize us to people we never would have been able to relate to otherwise.
government elderly people
Like all good citizens, the elderly and people with disabilities want to eradicate waste and fraud from government, but helping people with special needs meet their basic needs doesn't fit this description.
christian eye people
Thats what I love about serving God. In His eyes, there are no little people...because there are no big people. We are all on the same playing field
real people abstract
The truths of the Bible are never just abstract concepts; they're always related to real people.
hurt heart people
No other religion, no other, promises new bodies, hearts, and minds. Only in the gospel of Christ do hurting people find such incredible hope.
people needs need-god
Maybe the truly handicapped people are the ones that don't need God as much.
hurt heart people
Often when people are diagnosed with a life-changing medical condition, they feel overwhelmed. They feel choked by darkness and hopelessness. Those are times when answers simply do not suffice. That's because answers don't always reach the problem where it hurts: in the gut and in the heart.
divorce people drug
Most people wish they could erase suffering out of the dictionary. Today's culture of comfort and instant gratification has no patience for suffering - most people want to drug it, escape it, divorce it; do anything but live with it.
death die none ourselves prepare single thousand
None of us, in our culture of comfort, know how to prepare ourselves for dying, but that's what we should do every day. Every single day, we die a thousand deaths.
