“Pain is pain and sorrow is sorrow. It hurts. It limits. It impoverishes. It isolates. It restrains. It works devastation deep within the personality. It circumscribes in a thousand different ways.

“On accepting adversity in our lives: Always it is initiated by an act of will on our part; we set ourselves to believe in the overruling goodness, providence, and sovereignty of God and refuse to turn aside no matter what may come, no matter how we may feel. I mistakenly thought I could not trust God unless I felt like trusting Him. Now I am learning that trusting God is first of all a matter of the will. I choose to trust in God, and my feelings eventually follow.” FeelsFirstsBelieveMayMatterFeelingsTurnsFeltAcceptingOur LivesGoodnessAdversityNo Matter WhatRefuseTrust In GodProvidenceSovereigntySovereignty Of GodTrusting Him Author:Margaret Clarkson
