In that Manhood crucified; And each thought and deed unruly Do to death, as He has died. Simply to His grace and wholly Light and life and strength belong, And I love, supremely, solely, Him the holy, Him the strong.

In light of heaven, the worst suffering on earth will be seen to be no more serious than one night in an inconvenient hotel.

Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.

It is my weakness that gives me all my strength.
