“If you have just been going through the motions spiritually, don’t be surprised when God allows pain in your life. Pain is the fuel of passion — it energizes us with an intensity to change that we don’t normally possess. C. S.

God is not mad at you; he’s mad about you, and he will do whatever it takes to bring you back into fellowship with him.”
