There's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for.

The phrase "timing is everything" is never more true than in your walk with God—HIS timing is everything.

Everything happens for a reason. Wait on God and trust in Him. He wants the best for us. He wants to take us from glory to glory, and from victory to victory.
