Biblical-inspiration Quote by Kristen M. Smeltzer

“When you are going through a dark time, one side effect can be to forget the power and the goodness of God. When God isn’t doing what you think He should, it is easy to focus on the problem, and it suddenly becomes larger than the solution—which is God Himself.” quote by Kristen M. Smeltzer
