When God Doesn't Fix It: Lessons You Never Wanted to Learn, Truths You Can't Live Without

by Laura Story

Am I going to let my circumstances determine my view of God, or am I going to let God determine how I view my circumstances?

A God who leaves physically sick people to preach the good news to spiritually sick people is a God who cares more about our soul than our body. That is who our God is.

Strong faith doesn’t come from how hard I work. It’s not what I do. It’s what he does. It is not how strong my faith is. It’s how strong my God is.

To be better in our brokenness isn’t to remove the brokenness; it’s to remove the selfishness, pride, impatience, or other sinful behaviors we blame on the brokenness.

When we stop blaming our situation on the brokenness, we begin to see that the brokenness is a trial designed specifically for us.

Joy doesn’t come from our circumstances; it comes from our God. And since God is with us during our trials, it is possible to have joy even in our trials.
