An Unlikely Choice
The Lord will not overlook anyone whose heart is attuned to Him.

A tree goes through a torturous process to become fine furniture. There’s the felling and the debarking and the cutting and the planing and the sanding and the drilling and the glueing and the pounding. But the final product can serve people for generations. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see how the challenges we face in life may not be pleasant—in fact may seem down right torturous—but the Lord uses those to shape us into the people He wants us to be.
