Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep your word. (Ps. 119:67)

Faith’s enduring and alert dependency on the Lord is one of the Spirit’s finest fruits. And you bear that fruit only when you have lived through something hard.

half-truth masquerading as the whole truth becomes a complete untruth.”
