“But I do believe that's when you do your soul-searching. I think when you have these trials that life gives you, it is an opportunity to find out who you are. Not just who you are when everything's great, but who are you when everything is taken away from you and you have nothing.” ThinkingGivingBelieveSoulOpportunityTakenWho You AreTrialsYour SoulSoul SearchingAway From You Author:Ellen DeGeneres
“For, as I said a little way back, perfect souls are in no way repelled by trials, but rather desire them and pray for them and love them. They are like soldiers: the more wars there are, the better they are pleased, because they hope to emerge from them with the greater riches.” WayLittlesSaidWarSoulDesirePerfectGreaterPrayingAnd LoveSoldierRichesTrials Book:Complete Works St. Teresa Of Avila Source: Complete Works St. Teresa Of Avila
“In seasons of severe trial, the Christian has nothing on earth that he can trust to, and is therefore compelled to cast himself on God alone. When no human deliverance can avail, he must simply and entirely trust himself to the providence and care of God. Happy storm that wrecks a man on such a rock as this! O blessed hurricane that drives the soul to God--and God alone!” MenHumansSoulCareEarthChristianRocksSeasonsBlessedCastsStormTrialsProvidenceSevereCompelledHurricanesWrecksDeliverance Book:Morning by Morning Source: Morning by Morning
