[Jesus said]
“Don’t let your hearts be troubled.
Trust in God, and trust also in me.
John 14:1 NLT
***
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 Newman
***
For the word of the Lord holds true,
and we can trust everything he does.
Psalm 33:4 NLT
***
Ah, afflicted one,
your disabilities were meant to unite with God’s enablings,
your weakness to mate His power.
God’s grace is at hand – sufficient —
and at its best when human weakness is most profound.
Appropriate it and learn
that those who wait on God are stronger in their weakness
than the sons of men in their stoutest health and vigor.
F.B. Meyer
***
Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm,
for God can be trusted to keep his promise.
Hebrews 10:23 NLT
