“The things we try to avoid and fight against—tribulation, suffering, and persecution—are the very things that produce abundant joy in us. “We are more than conquerors through Him” “in all these things”; not in spite of them, but in the midst of them.

― Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest

“There is more mercy in Christ than sin in us.”
