"What God said to Jesus and to Paul, and what he says to us is, 'My power always comes to perfection through weakness. My power can only explode into your life through your weakness.' Paul says that if Jesus can uncomplainingly submit to his infinite suffering and thereby have God's life explode into our lives and into the world, then you and I can submit to our finite suffering uncomplainingly and know the same thing will happen. That death in us will work life in us and in other around us. That's our hope." (emphasis added)
- from Be Still, My Soul: Embracing God's Purpose and Provision in Suffering, book compiled by Nancy Guthrie, above quote by Tim Keller
