One of the greatest evidences of God's love to those that love him is, to send them afflictions, with grace to bear them.

When you want it the most, there's no easy way out.When you're ready to go, and your heart's left in doubt. Don't give up on your faith, love comes to those who believe it...And that's the way it is.

God's love does not protect us from suffering. God's love protects us in the midst of suffering.

In times of affliction we commonly meet with the sweetest experiences of the love of God.

It is better to go stumbling, and weeping, and crawling like a worm along the way of love, than to give up and choose some other way.

The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.

Love sweetens pain; and when one loves God, one suffers for His sake with joy and courage.

Pain throws your heart to the ground Love turns the whole thing around Fear is a friend who's misunderstood But I know the heart of life is good

Love and sacrifice are closely linked, like the sun and the light. We cannot love without suffering and we cannot suffer without love.

Even when we cannot see the why and wherefore of God's dealings, we know that there is love in and behind them, and so we can rejoice always.

If the first mark of a true and living church is love, the second is suffering. The one is naturally consequent on the other. A willingness to suffer proves the genuineness of love.

Stay Positive It's easy to be positive when everything in life is going great. The hard part is staying positive when you get knocked down and kicked around. The fact is, no one goes through life untested. If you study history, sports, and business, you will find that every great leader and team had to overcome adversity and challenges to define themselves and their success
