Jennie's Words

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: Sometimes I’m tempted to blow my problems out of proportion. You probably do the same thing. Maybe the words of Jennie Thompson can help us.

Jennie: God is not in the business of making us ‘happy.’ His business is to receive the glory that is due Him as our Creator and almighty God.

Nancy: Jennie wrote these words three months after her husband died of leukemia. This widow with three boys expressed an amazing perspective on the purposes of God.

Jennie: God has been honored and glorified in a way that never could have happened without difficult circumstances. So I must praise Him for those circumstances.

Nancy: Jennie’s words remind us that, ultimately, our lives are not all about us. They’re about God’s glory.

Jennie: Our happiness is the by-product of being in and doing His will. That’s why I can weep at the graveside of my best friend, my husband, and still be happy.

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth.
