Plan B

Plan B:
What Do You Do When God Doesn’t Show Up the Way You Thought He Would?
By Pete Wilson (Thomas Nelson, 2010)

“Somehow, mysteriously, when we receive the love of Jesus into our lives through suffering, when we decide to choose that love and share it, we keep suffering from having the last word in our lives.

“Choosing love, in fact, somehow empowers us to reflect God to others in the world more clearly and consistently than we ever have. In denying our self-centered tendencies, we’re able to serve and be served, forgive and be forgiven, care and be cared for. Our joy is no longer fueled by getting what we want, but by having God live in us and through us.” –Pete Wilson, from the book
