“In the wake of your Worst, if you fail to face reality, you will deaden your soul. If you shut yourself off from the pain, you will lock out joy. If you refuse to enter the reality of your suffering, you will not be able to enter into the blessings of life. Your heart will become hardened and closed and unhealed. Distance will develop in all of your relationships, both human and divine.”

“no tragedy possesses more force and determination than God’s plan of redemption for the world. No disappointment can expunge the inherent mission that God envisioned when he conceived your life. No trial can extract you from the redemptive narrative that Christ called you into when he saved your soul and enlisted you in his redemptive mission. No difficulty can nullify the intrinsic purpose inherent in God designing you. In fact, your Worst further equips you uniquely for this mission.”
