“The God who knows our words before they come to mind, who is intimately acquainted with all our ways, can never be disappointed in us because we cannot surprise him. Disappointment comes from not experiencing an expected outcome, and God doesn’t anticipate us to behave in ways he already knows we’re not going to. He expects us to fall down, to make mistakes, to struggle, and to even sin sometimes because he already knows our frailties. He may grieve and ache over our struggles and choices, but he wants us to just come to him with our pain and problems.”

“Like those exiles, we walked through all kinds of heartache before coming to the furnace. Though we didn't always see him, God was with us through it all. We may not smell like smoke or be destroyed by flames, but we have the great faith to believe he's good and kind and present when he walks through fire with us instead of plucking us from it.
In the fire, we learn that hope can’t rest solely on the actions of God, on miraculous healings, or on answers to mysteries we can’t comprehend. Instead, our hope rests on the character of a God who is love, who somehow brings beauty out of the ugliest ashes. We don’t have to be healed, we don’t have to be on the other side of it, to know he’s good and he’s transforming us—even in the furnace.”

“sometimes the greater victory of faith is learning to walk with Jesus when suffering remains.”
