Longsuffering Quotes

“It was a costly triumph. But God’s values are not so easily reckoned. If God had simply terminated Satan, then it would not have been so clear that God is both stronger and infinitely more to be desired than Satan. God wills for his glory to shine forth not only through acts of physical power, but also through acts of moral and spiritual power that display the beauty of his grace with lavish colors. To take sinners out of Satan’s hands by virtue of Christ’s sin-bearing sacrifice and his law-fulfilling obedience to the Father was a more glorious victory than mere annihilation of the enemy.”
― John Piper, Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ

“Slowly, it flowed on its own, his pen wrote, 'There is no nobler 'cope' than 'hope' itself, and by hoping, you might see why: for these rhyme for a reason.' So he felt lumps in his throat, and then gulped, 'Whoa, was that the Holy Ghost who spoke? Who knows?' But this he was told at just the right time, the right season.”
