Our greatest need
"The deepest need that you and I have in weakness and adversity is not quick relief, but a well-grounded confidence that what is happening to us is part of the greatest purpose of God in the universe - the glorification of the grace and power of his Son - the grace and power that bore him to the cross and kept him there until the work of love was done. That's what God is building into our lives. That is the meaning of weakness, insults, hardships, persecutions, calamity." - John Piper
That grace is so evident in your lives... I only have to think of you and Dave and I'm filled with awe and awareness of the Lord's amazing grace and love. Moves me to tears often when I think how glorified God is in your lives.
Needed this...
