Keep things in perspective.

Mat 5:11 "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.
Mat 5:12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

SCHOOL OF SORROW
Your Father is training you for a part the angels cannot sing, and His conservatory is the school of sorrows. Others have said that He sends sorrow to test you, yet this is not the case.
He sends sorrow to educate you, thereby providing you with the proper training for His heavenly choir.
In the darkest night He is composing your song.
In the valley He is tuning your voice.
In the storm clouds He is deepening your range.
In the rain showers He is sweetening your melody. In the cold He is giving your notes expression.
And as you pass at times from hope to fear, He is perfecting the message of your lyrics.
O dear soul, do not despise your school of sorrow. It is bestowing on you a unique part in the heavenly song.
George Matheson

[Almost Heaven]

Satan deceived a third of the angels that were actually in the presence of God. So imagine the power he has over mere men that don't submit to the word of God.

"In our prayers, we talk to God, in our Bible study, God talks to us, and we had better let God do most of the talking."
D L Moody

 

[Kem]

It is time as never before to look up and lift up our heads, for our redemption (the Lord Jesus Christ) is drawing near. He is, I believe, on the very cusp of stepping out onto the clouds of Glory to call to Himself all believers of this Church Age–those alive and those who have already passed into His presence.
~Terry James

 

[Hol]

"Our hearts, we have been deceived by our own hearts most of all. We have proved the truth of this Bible verse: The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Who shall know it? Jeremiah 17:9. How many times have we said that we would never do a certain thing again, and then have done it within 24-hours?"

He goes on to quote Martin Luther who said he feared his own heart more than the pope and all of the cardinals.

DL Moody, from his book Sowing and Reaping.

To the child of God, there is no such thing as an accident.

[Kem]

"Not my life, His. I am not my own, I am bought with a price; therefore I belong to Him and what happens to me is His affair. The old life, mine, is gone. Crucified. Dead. The new life -the daily- lives at the expense of the old. Both cannot flourish together. It's one or the other. It's no to the self, yes to the Lord.""
~Elizabeth Elliot

Lord, give to me a quiet heart that does not ask to understand, but confident steps forward in the darkness guided by Thy hand.

O merciful God, be Thou unto me a strong Tower of defence, I humbly entreat Thee. Give me grace to await Thy leisure, and patiently to bear what Thou doest unto me; nothing doubting or mistrusting Thy goodness towards me; for Thou knowest what is good for me better than I do. Therefore do with me in all things what Thou wilt; only arm me, I beseech Thee, with Thine armor, that I may stand fast; above all things taking to me the shield of faith. Praying always that I may refer myself wholly to Thy will, abiding Thy pleasure, and comforting myself in those troubles which it shall please Thee to send me, seeing such troubles are profitable for me and I am assuredly persuaded that all Thou doesn't cannot but be well and unto Thee be all honor and glory. Amen.
~17 yr old Lady Jane Grey before she was beheaded in 1554
