God could have healed David just like He restored my sister Lisa. But God is sovereign. I don’t claim to understand it all, but I do know this: God is good. He has a great plan for your life, a destiny for you to fulfill. No matter how many disadvantages or setbacks you must deal with, if you shake off the self-pity, stop blaming, and keep pressing forward, nothing will be able to keep you from becoming all that God created you to be. Stop making excuses. Quit dwelling on disappointments, on the unfairness and hurt inflicted upon you. Know that God has something great coming your way. The worst handicaps are those you place on yourself. Too many people are waiting for God to make them perfect before they pursue their dreams and destinies. Go after yours right now. Honor God with what you have. He wants to take your liabilities and turn them into assets. First, though, you have to accept that God may not remove your challenge, but He will use it to your advantage.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Joel Osteen" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/joel-osteen/faith-is-all-about-trusting-god-even-when-you-don-t-understand-his-2/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/229/joel-osteen-194_faith_faith-is-all-about-trusting-god-even-whe_2346156.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/229/joel-osteen-194_faith_faith-is-all-about-trusting-god-even-whe_2346156.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/229/joel-osteen-194_faith_faith-is-all-about-trusting-god-even-whe_2346156.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Faith is all about trusting God even when you don’t understand His plan.
