Daniel’s story is not so much about how we muster human courage, as about how God’s persevering grace fuels it.

When God did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all, he proved for all time and circumstances his love for us.

By offering himself as a sacrifice for a sinful world, Jesus bore witness to his all-surpassing love and grace.

The Master Architect has a beautiful plan for what he wants to do in us and through us so we shall ultimately be as he designs.

Wives who submit their personal gifts to the support of their husbands, and husbands who sacrifice personal gain for the benefit of their wives are living the grace that Jesus died to reveal.

“When Satan comes to convince me that I am unworthy of the mercy of God, I will say, ‘You are right, and you know not the half of it, but I have to deal with the One who will delight to show mercy.’”

When we please the One we love the most, we find our own greatest pleasure.

Our love of the Father along with the Spirit’s testimony of his love for us combine to witness that we are God’s children.

When all else is stripped away, we can still find meaning, hope, and reason to carry on in the comfort of a God whose love continues beyond life’s regrets and earth’s boundaries.

Our Heavenly Father has been with us on every journey, and will be with us for eternity. No turn is unknown to him; no twist is a surprise to him.
