Seeing A Shrink Quotes & Sayings

We should not shrink from opportunities where our faith may be tried. The more I am in a position to be tried in faith, the more I will have the opportunity of seeing God's help and deliverance. Every fresh instance in which He helps and delivers me will increase my faith.

Thus his faith will be strengthened. — George Muller
