His Covenant Love


















"The New Testament writers tell us that we should not be surprised when we face trouble, trial, and suffering. They tell us that we should never conclude that God has forgotten us. They say that for the believer, the opposite is true: trials are the result of His covenant love! We experience difficulty precisely because we are the children of His love. God will not neglect us so that we can experience the ease we want. No, He will perfect us through trial after trial."

-- From "War of Words - Getting to the Heart of Your Communication Struggles" by Paul David Tripp

This quote was very encouraging to me this morning. Thank you for sharing it.

The photo of the icy window is so pretty.
