And there is the point exactly, we are all the time blaming difficulties on to something else. Our real trouble is that we are too soft to solve the problem.

Suffering times are a Christian's harvest time.

There comes a time when the cup of endurance runs over, and men are no longer willing to be plunged into the abyss of despair.

Someone once told me that God figured that I was a pretty good juggler. I could keep a lot of balls in the air at one time. So He said, "Let's see if he can juggle another one."

Our torments also may in length of time become our elements, these piercing fires as soft as now severe, our temper changed Into their temper.

The next time you are called to suffer, pay attention. It may be the closest you'll ever get to God.

Our triumph over sorrow is not that we can avoid it but that we can endure it. And therein lies our hope; that in spirit we might become bigger than the problems we face.

Happiness is the choice I make today. It does not rest on my circumstances, but on my frame of mind. I surrender to God any emotional habits that lead me down the path of unhappiness, and pray for guidance in shifting my thoughts. In cultivating the habits of happiness, I attract the people and situations that match its frequency. I smile more often, give praise more often, give thanks more often, and am glad more often. For such is my choice today.

The pain you are going through is not what will determine your future; your future will be determined by who you are as you go through your pain.

Your human self might be in hell right now, but your divine self is literally untouched by your suffering. And your divine self is who you are.

It has been said that love brings up everything unlike itself, and sometimes just when we feel we are moving towards a solution, the problem comes up again and grabs us by the throat. That is natural. It is part of the process. Do not despair.
