Pain
I have tried and I cannot find, either in Scripture or history, a strong-willed individual whom God used greatly until He allowed him to be hurt deeply.

Insight for Today
Written by Chuck Swindoll, these encouraging devotional thoughts are published seven days per week.
The Shadow of the Giant, Part Two
With a well-worn leather sling and a smooth stone, and unbending confidence in his mighty God, David introduced Goliath and all the Philistine hordes to the Lord of hosts, whose name they had blasphemed long enough.
The Shadow of the Giant, Part One
Some 10 miles away, a handsome, muscular teenager—the runt in a family of eight boys—was sent on an errand by his father. That innocent errand proved to be an epochal event in Jewish history.
Start Where You Are, Part Two
One of the most encouraging things about new years, new weeks, and new days is the word new. Webster reveals its meaning: “refreshed, different from one of the same that has existed previously...unfamiliar.”
Start Where You Are, Part One
To start over, you have to know where you are. To get somewhere else, it’s necessary to know where you’re presently standing.
Persistence, Part Two
Enough about me—you’ve got the next season stretching out in front of you. Think of these weeks as a time framework for your own investment. Choose an objective carefully, state it clearly in writing, then, with the persistence of an athlete training for the next Olympiad, go for the goal!
Persistence, Part One
The One who began will continue right up to the end. Being the original finisher, He will persist. I’m comforted to know He won’t be talked out of a plan that has to do with developing me. I need help! Don’t you?
Insensitivity, Part Two
A basic task you accepted when you became a parent was the building of self-esteem and confidence into your offspring.
Insensitivity, Part One
Perhaps the most tragic shades of insensitivity occur in the home. Between mates, to begin with. Needs in the heart of a wife long to be discovered by her husband. She hides them until an appropriate moment...but it never arrives. He’s “too busy.” What cursed words!
Getting Involved, Part Two
People who get involved are motivated by selfless compassion, a burden of concern that won’t stay folded and creased in a book.
