For it is commendable if a man bears up under the pain of unjust
suffering because he is conscious of God.
-- 1 Peter 2:19


The great thing to remember is that, though our feelings come
and go, His love for us does not.
-- C. S. Lewis

Peter and John replied, "Judge for yourselves whether it is
right in God's sight to obey you rather than God. For we cannot
help speaking about what we have seen and heard."
-- Acts 4:19-20


Wherever there is any element of pride or of conceit, Jesus
cannot expound a thing. He will take us through the
disappointment of a wounded pride of intellect, through
disappointment of heart. He will reveal inordinate
affections-things over which we never thought He would have to
get us alone.
-- Oswald Chambers
