"For my determined purpose is that I may know Him, that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly, and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection which it exerts over believers, and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed in spirit into His likeness even to His death... " Phil 3:10 Amp

A Redemption Project

"When suffering shatters the carefully kept vase that is our lives, God stoops to pick up the pieces.  But he doesn't put them back together as a restoration project patterned after our former selves.  Instead, he sifts through the rubble and selects some of the shards as raw material for another project - a mosaic that tells the story of redemption." (Ken Gire, The North Face of God)
