Here is one of my favorites from Max Lucado....
"If it is true the picture
paints 1000 words, and there was a Roman centurion who got a dictionary full.
All he did was see Jesus suffer. He never heard him preach or saw him heal or
followed him through the crowds. He never witnessed him still the wind; he only
witnessed the way he died. But that was all it took to cause this weather –
worn soldier to take a giant step in faith. Surely this was a righteous man.
That says a lot, doesn’t it?
It says the rubber of faith meets the road of reality under hardship. It says
that the trueness of one’s belief is revealed in pain. Genuineness and
character are unveiled in misfortune. Faith is at its best, not in three-piece
suits on Sunday mornings or at VBS on summer days, but at hospital bedsides,
cancer wards, and cemeteries."
From my devotional book "Grace for the Moment : Morning and Evening Readings"
