No Pain No Gain (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798896370000)

This book is about the test that a Christian must go through to get to the purpose God has for you. We must submit to God even when it doesn't feel good and trust Him no matter what it looks like, knowing we walk by faith, not by sight, and take God at His Word. Godly character must be produced in order to be used by God in an extraordinary way. Psalm 119:71 says, "It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I might learn Thy statutes," knowing that God uses storms to build this kind of character.

And looking at the glass half full instead of half empty-the difference between the two is that a half-full glass will keep you positive, looking with spiritual eyes while on your way to the Promised Land. On the other hand, a half-empty glass keeps you looking at the storms and waves that are coming into your life. We will begin to sink if we take our eyes off Jesus. Keep God in His rightful position; then storms look small. But move God off His throne, and your problems look bigger than God. Keep your eyes on Jesus-you are closer to your miracle than you think.

God bless!
