When God sets His heart on you, you will be tried often. But the longer and harder your affliction, the more deeply God has set His heart on you, to show you His love and care.
From James 1:2-4: “My brothers and sisters, whenever you face various trials, consider it all joy, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance complete its work, so that you may be complete and whole, lacking in nothing.”
David Wilkerson (1931-2011) was an American evangelist, Christian author, and pastor.

Indeed! Judy, I agree with your reflection about Wilkerson’s thoughts. I will continue to search for more of his quotes.

I read David Wilkerson’s “The Cross and the Switchblade” when I was a teenager. He was so gifted in connecting with troubled gang members and sharing his faith. 🙂
