What I ought to do and what I feel like doing are seldom the same thing.

The secret is Christ in me, not me in a different set of circumstances.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Our Heavenly Healer often has to hurt us in order to heal us. We sometimes fail to recognize His mighty love in this, yet we are firmly held always in the Everlasting Arms.
