“Circumstances may appear to wreck our lives and God’s plans, but God is not helpless among the ruins. Our broken lives are not lost or useless. God’s love is still working. He comes in and takes the calamity and uses it victoriously, working out his wonderful plan of love.” Eric Liddell

“A man may fall many times but he won’t be a failure until he says that someone pushed him.” Elmer Letterman
