"There may be real submission to the will of God where we can't help wishing things were otherwise. God does not ask to feel that everything is for the best, but He does ask us to believe it."
Andrew Bonar
Our sermon recently today reminded me of this quote.
"This job has been given to me to do. Therefore, it is a gift. Therefore, it is a privilege. Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God. Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done for Him. Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God’s way. In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness."

"The longer I live the more conscious I am of human frailty, and of the constant, overwhelming need we all have of God’s grace." ~ Elizabeth Prentiss
"Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away. Those who have a good hope, through grace, in God, and of heaven, are certainlysafe,how difficult soever the times are through which they pass in this world. He that walks uprightly may thus walk surely, because, though there are trouble and danger, yet there is hope that all will be well at last. Hope is an anchor of the soul."
"My witness is in heaven. Note, It is an unspeakable comfort to a good man, when he lies under the censure of his brethren, that there is a God in heaven who knows his integrity and will clear it up sooner or later."
Matthew Henry
