God’s grace is not given to make us feel better, but to glorify Him… Good feelings may come, or they may not, but that is not the issue. The issue is whether or not we honor God by the way we respond to our circumstances.

We must depend upon God to do for us what we cannot do for ourselves.  We must, to the same degree, depend on Him to enable us to do what we must do for ourselves.
