God calls the weak, makes them weaker, and fills them with life and power. Maturity does not decrease dependence, but is the result of it.  The very storms we dread are the tools of God's providence to conform us to the image of His Son - they bring forth fruit of righteousness.  After so many years I have made so little progress. Yet failure has a positive result: Less confidence in self & more confidence in Christ.  In all your weakness, failure, broken promises, and doubts, always remember - The Anchor holds beyond the veil. He is FAITHFUL beyond words!

~Paul Washer
