Quotes from Susan May Warren

When you show up with nothing and discover that you're loved because of who you are—that's when you realize what it means to be a son of God... It's pretty breathtaking...

We love, simply because we're loved. God's love comes first, and ours is just a response. We didn't trigger it - He did.

I'm saying that storms happen - cancer happens. Accidents happen. We can either run from them, hide from them, or....go through them. God is with us in all of those situations. But yeah, some of his best people are pressed out, shaken, fermented...aged through circumstances or time.

God is in the storm. Though the winds blow, and my life feels torn apart, if I can just trust Him, I'll discover Him at the center.

Just make sure that you fight the battle God has given you, and not one of your own making.

Funny that when skies were clear, he was the storm. But in the middle of the storm…He was the calm.

Yep. Be. Believe. Hold on. Stand. Our best hope in the middle of confusion and chaos is not to try and solve our problems ourselves but to simply remember whose we are and who we hope in. You stay rooted in the middle of a storm—darkness, confusion, chaos—by putting your focus on the One who is stronger than the storm.

And I can also believe that God hasn't abandoned me just because my life blew up. Feelings aren't facts. The truth is that God loves me. And is up to something good in my life. Something you pointed out to me just a few weeks ago, bro.

God hasn't forgotten you. There's a plan. you just don't know it yet. But when you're ready to get back into the game, He'll tell you.

Don't think for a minute that God has forgotten about you or doesn't have your back. And don't base God's love or desire to help you on your opinion of yourself. Base it on who God says He is.

You're just mad because God didn't answer your prayer the way you wanted him to.

But suffering can either destroy you or it can save you. Because without suffering, we don't need more; we have enough. But when we suffer, we can't help but reach out. It forces us into God's arms, and that's where we find not only what we need, but more than we can imagine. We find Him.
