Stripped for Glory
There is much virtue to loss few have imagined. The good Lord is no man's debtor.
My greatest achievement is not in what I have received, but in what I have released.
My greatest achievement is not in what I have taken up, but in what I have given up.
My greatest achievement is not in what I have found, but in what I have lost.
My greatest achievement is not in flying through blessings, but in passing through burdens.
God has made it so that dust can indeed draw breath. Surely any achievement of mine is a mere crown to His glory?
He has stripped from me my glory and taken the crown from my head. (Job 19:9)
Men can only taste eternal satisfaction when temporal satisfaction is stripped away. ~ Michael Cartwright
