“THE PROCESS IS THE END. FOR IT IS THE PROCESS THAT IS GLORIFYING TO GOD.” --Oswald Chambers

"This life therefore, is not godliness but the process of becoming godly, not health but getting well, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not now what we shall be, but we are on the way. The process is not yet finished, but it is actively going on. This is not the goal, but it is the right road. At present, everything does not gleam and sparkle, but everything is being cleansed." --Martin Luther

If we were truthful, many of us at some point have said to ourselves we wouldn’t actually mind having some “big” thing happen to us- something not too major, but still a big deal-so our faith would be strengthened. It is silly we know, and dangerous I am learning! Honestly, I have had these types of thoughts. If I (or a kid) had this sickness, I would draw so close to God, I would… If God took this away from us, I would…
It feels like I am getting my wish sometimes. And if I wanted some “big” thing to happen in life, and it now has, why aren’t I doing what I thought I would? (or am I?) What aren’t I in a sense “happy” about it? You got what you asked for, why should anybody feel anything for you?
