Sad?
Unhappy?
`It
is a mistake to entertain the thought that God is pleased to see His
children suffer. All heaven is interested in the happiness of man.
Our heavenly Father does not close the avenues of joy to any of His
creatures.’ (SC46)
|
`Our
heavenly Father is never unmindful of those whom sorrow has touched.’
(MB11) |
`God
would not have any of us remain pressed down by . . .
sorrow, with sore and breaking hearts. He would have us look up to
catch the rainbow of promise, and reflect light to others. Oh, the
blessed Jesus stands by many whose eyes are so blinded by tears
that they do not discern Him. He longs to clasp our hands
firmly,
while we cling to Him in simple faith, imploring Him to guide us. It
is our privilege to rejoice in God. If we will let the comfort and
peace of Jesus into our lives, we shall be kept close to His great
heart of love.’ (2SM257-8)
|
`True
happiness will be result of everythe self-denial, every crucifixion of
self. One victory won, the next is more easily gained.' (4T345) |
Jesus
`has
loved us with an everlasting love and with loving-kindness compassed
us about. We may keep the heart stayed upon Him and meditate upon
His loving-kindness all the day. He will lift the soul above the
daily sorrow and perplexity, into a realm of peace.’ (MB12)
