We are like tea bags, whose true strength comes out when we are put in hot water. So when problems upset you, just think that you must be God’s favourite cup of tea.
When you feel God is rubbing you against the rocks, don’t think that you will ruin down to dust, it’s just that he is polishing a gem, because you are precious!
Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them and follow where they lead.
