Our God is the spotter of our faith. He has given us the ultimateconfidence to hold on to in our times of failure: the righteousness ofJesus Christ. And not only that; He beckons our hearts to desire anever greater measure of Him. - P47

the spotter of our faith does not let us alone; He is committed to dis-ciplining His children so that we may be stretched and strengthenedin new and greater ways. - P47
