Rick WarrenRick Warren You cannot fulfil God’s purposes for your life while focusing on your own plans.
Rick WarrenRick Warren God has a purpose behind every problem. He uses circumstances to develop our character. In fact, he depends more on circumstances to make us like Jesus than he depends on our reading the Bible.
Rick WarrenRick Warren It is never too late to start growing.
Rick WarrenRick Warren One day it’s all going to be clear. It’s all going to make sense. You’re going to be able to say, “So that’s why God allowed that in my life!” Until then, God wants you to trust him.
