“God has not promised skies always blue,  Flower strewn pathways all our lives through.  God has not promised sun without rain, Joy without sorrow, peace without pain. But God has promised strength for the day, Rest for the laborer, light on the way. Grace for the trial, help from above, Undying sympathy, unfailing love. -Anonymous”

“To live as God’s child is to know, at this very instant, that you are loved by your Maker not because you try to please him and succeed, or fail to please him and apologize, but because he wants to be your Father. Nothing more. All your efforts to win his affection are unnecessary. All your fears of losing his affection are needless. You can no more make him want you than you can convince him to abandon you. The adoption is irreversible. You have a place at his table.”

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.”
