Ignatius, when he heard the clock strike, would say, "Now I have another hour to answer for." (Eph. 5:16)

God will not turn away from doing you good. He will keep on doing good. He doesn't do good to His children sometimes and bad to them other times. He keeps on doing good and He never will stop doing good for ten thousand ages of ages. When things are going bad that does not mean God has stopped doing good. It means He is shifting things around to get them in place for more good, if you will go on loving Him.

Life is precarious, and life is precious. Don't presume you will have it tomorrow, and don't waste it today.

The highest mental health is not liking myself but being joyfully interested in everything but myself.

The Gospel is not a picture of adoption, adoption is a picture of the Gospel.

God is not a killjoy; he just opposes what kills joy.

Darkness comes. In the middle of it, the future looks blank. The temptation to quit is huge. Don't. You are in good company... You will argue with yourself that there is no way forward. But with God, nothing is impossible. He has more ropes and ladders and tunnels out of pits than you can conceive. Wait. Pray without ceasing. Hope.
