“Though I will be scarred by Nick’s death, I will not be defined by it. Though it will always be part of my story, it will never become my identity. I will be forever thankful that God gave me a son and never resentful that he called him home. My joy in having loved Nick will be greater than my grief in having lost him. I will not waver in my faith, nor abandon my hope, nor revoke my love. I will not charge God with wrong.”
― Tim Challies, Seasons of Sorrow: The Pain of Loss and the Comfort of God

“Just start thanking God in advance because no matter what is about to happen, you already know that God is in charge. You are not adrift in a sea of chaos.”
― Elisabeth Elliot, Suffering is Never for Nothing

“The deepest things that I have learned in my own life have come from the deepest suffering. And out of the deepest waters and the hottest fires have come the deepest things that I know about God.”
― Elisabeth Elliot, Suffering is Never for Nothing

“We sing because we're created to, commanded to, and compelled to.”
