For Those Who Are Being Tossed in the Tempest


www.crosswalk.com   - Selected
Stand up in the place where the dear Lord has put you,
and there do your best.
God gives us trial tests.
He puts life before us as an antagonist face to face.
Out of the buffeting of a serious conflict we are expected to grow strong.
The tree that grows where tempests toss its boughs and bend its trunk 
often almost to breaking, is often more firmly rooted than the tree which 
grows in the sequestered valley where no storm ever brings stress or 
strain.  The same is true of life. 
The grandest character is grown in hardship.
