Hayotimizning har bir bosqichi o’zining murakkabliklari va yutuqlari bilan turlichadir. Qanoatlanish bu bizning hozirgi holatimizdagi Xudoning maqsadlariga ishonishdir. Ko’pchiligimiz bir necha oydan keyin yoki hatto ertaga qayerda bo’lishimiz yoki nima qilishimizni bilmaymiz.

Each phase of life is different, with its own challenges but also its own rewards. The way to contentment is to trust God’s purposes in our present circumstances.

The Lord does not call us merely to release our anxiety to Him, but to willingly cast it upon Him—and not some of it, but all of it. God wants us to trust Him in both the big things and the little things.

J'ai écrit neuf romans. Si vous pouviez interviewer les personnages de mes livres en leur demandant: « Souhaitez-vous souffrir moins ? », je suis convaincu qu'ils vous répondraient: « Oui! » J'ai de la compassion pour mes personnages. En tant qu'auteur, je sais que toutes leurs souffrances en vaudront la peine à la fin, car elles sont essentielles à leur croissance et participent à l'histoire rédemptrice.

I’ve written nine novels. Suppose you could interview characters from my books. If you asked them, “Would you like to suffer less?” I’m sure they’d answer, “Yes!” I empathize with my characters. But as the author, I know that in the end all their suffering will be worth it, since it’s critical to their growth, and to the redemptive story.

"Mas não quero que meus filhos pensem que não confio neles". A confiança é importante, mas nunca é irrealista.

In times of doubt, difficulty, and trials, our fundamental beliefs about God and our faith are revealed. So how can Christians find faith in the midst of doubt? How can they trust God’s plan when their lives seem out of His control, and prayers seem to go unanswered or, sometimes it feels, even unheard?

In June 2016, Randy Alcorn was a guest on Susie Larson's Radio Podcast Live the Promise, speaking on the subject of Happiness. In this clip, he talks about how love, peace, loyalty and trust can be misused and self-centered.

I really appreciated these insights from Andy Abelein, a young man I love, and who loves Jesus. As you read Andy’s thoughts, I hope you’ll open up your heart and mind and consider what new places and situations God may want to guide you to. And may I do the same!
