“There is nothing--no circumstance, no trouble, no testing--that can ever touch me until, first of all, it has gone past God and past Christ right through to me. If it has come that far, it has come with a great purpose, which I may not understand at the moment. But as I refuse to become panicky, as I lift up my eyes to Him and accept it as coming from the throne of God for some great purpose of blessing to my own heart, no sorrow will ever disturb me, no circumstance will cause me to fret, for I shall rest in the joy of what my Lord is--that is the rest of victory!” IfsLoveFirstsHeartMaySoulMomentsGodEyeChristianPastJoyPurposeJesusCausesUnderstandingChristMy OwnAcceptingLordGoneTroubleAcceptanceBecomingVictoryCircumstancesSorrowBlessingRefuseChristian InspirationalLiftsTouchingTrust In GodThronesPastorTestingCommitment To GodConfidence In GodGod Within UsTouch MeGod Is In ControlGod Works In Mysterious Ways Author:Alan Redpath
“In Tanzania, the chimps are isolated in a very tiny patch of forest. I flew over it 13 years ago and realized that, basically, all the trees had gone, that people all around the park are struggling to survive. It became very clear that there was no way to protect the chimps while the people were in this dire circumstance.” PeopleWayYearsStruggleGoneClearTreeCircumstancesProtectYears AgoTinyForestsParksOver ItIsolatedPatchesFlewTanzaniaStruggling To Survive Author:Jane Goodall

“I duly acknowledge that I have gone through a long life, with fewer circumstances of affliction than are the lot of most men. Uninterrupted health, a competence for every reasonable want, usefulness to my fellow-citizens, a good portion of their esteem, no complaint against the world which has sufficiently honored me, and above all, a family which has blessed me by their affections, and never by their conduct given me a moment's pain.” MenWorldWantLongMomentsPainGivenGoneHealthCitizensCircumstancesFellowsBlessedAffectionEsteemAcknowledgeReasonableFewerPortionsComplaintsAfflictionHonoredWant UCompetenceLong LifeUsefulness Author:Thomas Jefferson
“Souls are punished when they have gone forth from the body, some wandering among us, some going to hot or cold places of the earth, some harassed by spirits. Under all circumstances they suffer with the irrational part of their nature, with which they also sinned. For its sake there subsists that shadowy body which is seen about graves, especially the graves of evil livers.” SoulBodyEarthSpiritSufferingEvilGoneColdCircumstancesHotSakeGravesWanderIrrationalLiver Author:Sallust
“I think everyone can relate to the werewolf myth - because we've all, as a result of alcohol, drugs, exhaustion, rage, gone off the leash and come to regret it later.

“I had lost my sister recently, too, which meant that my whole family was gone. I was the baby of the family. There were five Sendaks and there were five Wild Things, and now there's only one Sendak, and he's about to bite the dust, too! Life, as I said before, was very difficult at that time and so it was natural that there would be a change in the look of things. Also, I was very impressed with my own strength in doing this under the circumstances in which I was living.” LooksSaidWholeWould BeLostDifficultNaturalMy OwnGoneFiveBabyCircumstancesDustBitesMy SisterImpressedWhole FamilyWild Things Author:Maurice Sendak
“Hindsight, I think, is a useless tool. We, each of us, are at a place in our lives because of innumerable circumstances, and we, each of us, have a responsibility (if we do not like where we are) to move along life's road, to find a better path if this one does not suit, or to walk happily along this one if it is indeed our life's way. Changing even the bad things that have gone before would fundamentally change who we are, and whether or not that would be a good thing, I believe, it is impossible to predict. So I take my past experiences... and try to regret nothing. -Drizzt Do'urden” IfsThinkingWayTryingBelieveDoeWould BePastMovingI BelieveWalksResponsibilityGonePathOur LivesImpossibleRegretCircumstancesToolsGood ThingsSuitsUselessWho We AreBad ThingsMy PastHindsightPast ExperiencesDrizztRegret NothingDrizzt Do Urden Author:R.
