Through Desert Places...

Why does God lead us through desert places? That He might humble us, that He might test us, and that the true condition of our hearts might be revealed. Not that God might come to know you (He already does), but that you might come to know you. There’s nothing like the desert to help you discover the real you. When you strip away all of the trappings, peel off all the masks, and shed all the phony costumes, you begin to see a true identity—a face that hasn’t emerged for years. Maybe never. ~Charles Swindoll

Put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth. ~Ephesians 4:24
