“God is more concerned about changing you than your circumstances, you understand that? It could be that God wants to keep you in these difficult circumstances ‘cause He’s changing you.. See, it’s about your character. God loves you so much He doesn’t want you to stay where you are. It’s this new person that He wants to make us as we know Him” -francis...

Leonard Ravenhill, In Light of Eternity
