“God is able to take the mess of our past and turn it into a message. He takes the trials and tests and turns them into a testimony.”
“God can take the imploding mess of our lives and turn it around.”
“Only God can take our failures and turn them into victories.”
“To take a people who were traveling apace the broadway to hell, and to be able to turn them, and set their face to God. . . . It is what we must strive for.”
“God does not take away trials or carry us over them, but strengthens us through them.”
“Our trials are supposed to turn us toward God, but we whine and complain and wish someone would turn down the fire so we could have our old life back the way it was.”
