& Sorrow
"I will trust Him. Whatever, wherever I am, I can never be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him; in perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him; if I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him. My sickness, or perplexity, or sorrow may be necessary causes of some great end, which is quite beyond us. He does nothing in vain." ~John Henry Norman
"The Scriptures teach us the best way of living, the noblest way of suffering, and the most comfortable way of dying!" ~John Flavel
"And from God's perspective death is a small price to pay for the privilege of sitting at his table. "Flesh and blood cannot have part in the kingdom of God...This body that cannot be destroyed must clothe itself with something that can never be destroyed. And this body that dies must clothe itself with something that can never die" (1 Cor. 15:50, 53) ~ Max Lucado
"Tears are a tribute to our deceased friends. When the body is sown, it must be watered. But we must not sorrow as those that have no hope; for we have a good hope through grace both concerning them and concerning ourselves." ~Matthew Henry
"Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones. And when you have finished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake. ~Unknown
"God sometimes shuts the door and shuts us in, that He may speak, perchance through grief or pain, and softly, heart to heart, above the din, may tell some precious thought to us again." ~Anonymous
"Should pain and suffering, sorrow, and grief, rise up like clouds and overshadow for a time the Sun of Righteousness and hide him from your view, do not be dismayed, for in the end this cloud of woe will descend in showers of blessing on your head, and the Sun of Righteousness rise upon you to set no more forever." ~Sadhu Sundar Singh
