"Nobody has ever done something great for God that didn't have a great thorn from God. ...[W]hen God wants to use someone greatly, He wounds them deeply. ...Not abusive wounds. The testing of life, that puts us into that position of experiencing the power of God. And you can't find a hero in these pages [the Bible] that didn't go through the thorny bush of trial and tribulation. ...'When I am weak, then I am strong.' ...This is Jesus, doing something in me that I cannot do on my own." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . -- Louie Giglio, "Addiction Must Fall" (final message in the "Goliath Must Fall" series) |
