"our shattered dreams are never random. they are always a piece in a larger puzlle, a chapter in a larger story. pain is a tragedy. but it's never only tragedy. for the Christian, it's always a necessary mile on the long journey to joy. the suffering caused by shattered dreams must not be thought of as something to relieve if we can, or endure if we must. it's an opportunity to be embraced, a chance to discover our desire for the highest blessing God wants to give us, an encounter of Himself..the journey to joy takes us through shattered dreams...a new way to live is available to us, a way that leads to a joy-filled encounter with Christ, to a life-arousing community with others, and to a powerful transformation of our interior worlds that makes us more like Jesus."
