Warren W. Wiersbe Quotes

When you and I hurt deeply, what we really need is not an explanation from God but a revelation of God. We need to see how great God is; we need to recover our lost perspective on life. Things get out of proportion when we are suffering, and it takes a vision of something bigger than ourselves to get life's dimensions adjusted again

Heaven knows we’re not supposed to be fierce, physically unafraid, and fully aware of our own physical power.
