Hopeful and Inspirational Thoughts for When You are Feeling Low
Because Thy loving-kindness is better
than life, my lips shall praise Thee.
PSALM 63, verse 3.
O Lord! my best desires fulfil,
And help me to resign
Life, health, and comfort, to Thy will,
And make Thy pleasure mine.
William COWPER.
What do our heavy hearts prove but that other
things are sweeter to us than His will, that we
have not attained to the full mastery of our true
freedom, the full perception of its power, that
our sonship is yet but faintly realized, and its
blessedness not yet proved and known?
Our consent would turn all our trials into obedience.
By consenting we make them our own, and offer
them with ourselves again to Him.
H. E. MANNING.
Nothing is intolerable that is necessary.
Now God hath bound thy trouble upon thee,
with a design to try thee, and with purposes
to reward and crown thee. These cords thou
canst not break; and therefore lie thou down
gently, and suffer the hand of God to do
what He please.
