Richelle E. Goodrich
“No one is without troubles, without personal hardships and genuine challenges.  That fact may not be obvious because most people don't advertise their woes and heartaches.  But nobody, not even the purest heart, escapes life without suffering battle scars.”
Richelle E. Goodrich, Smile Anyway: Quotes, Verse, and Grumblings for Every Day of the Year

Richelle E. Goodrich
“Life has moments that feel as if the sun has blackened to tar and the entire world turned to ice.  It feels as if Hades and his vile demons have risen from the depths of Tartarus solely for the purpose of banding to personally torture you, and that their genuine intent of mental, emotional, and spiritual anguish is tearing you to shreds.  Your heart weighs as heavily as leaden legs which you would drag yourself forward with if not for the quicksand that pulls you down inch by inch, paralyzing your will and threatening oblivion.  And all the while fire and brimstone pour from the sky, pelting only you.  
Truly, that is what it feels like. But that feeling is a trial that won't last forever.  Never give up.”

“We are sometimes dragged into a pit of unhappiness by someone else’s opinion that we do not look happy.”

Martin Luther
“Those speak foolishly who ascribe their anger or their impatience to such as offend them or to tribulation. Tribulation does not make people impatient, but proves that they are impatient. So everyone may learn from tribulation how his heart is constituted.”
Martin Luther

C.S. Lewis
“If tribulation is a necessary element in the redemption we must anticipate that it will never cease till God sees the world to be either redeemed or no further redeemable. A Christian cannot, therefore, believe any of those who promise that if only some reform in our economic, political, or hygienic system were made, a heaven on earth would follow. This might seem to have a discouraging effect on the social worker, but it is not found in practice to discourage him. On the contrary, a strong sense of our common miseries, simply as men, is at least as good a spur to the removal of all the miseries we can, as any of those wild hopes which tempt men to seek their realisation by breaking the moral law and prove such dust and ashes when they are realised. If applied to individual life, the doctrine that an imagined heaven on earth as necessary for vigorous attempts to remove present evil, would at once reveal its absurdity. Hungry men seek food and sick men healing none the less because they know that after the meal or the cure the ordinary ups and downs of life still await them.”
C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain

Erik Pevernagie
“When we encounter the spell of beauty, we can feel the wings of freedom. Beauty sets us free from the imprisonment of hideous tribulations and dreadful perceptions. (“Absence of Beauty was like Hell”)”
Erik Pevernagie

“Was I sorry that I chose to come by hand cart? No. Neither then nor any minute of my life since. The price we paid to become acquainted with God was a privilege to pay and I am thankful that I was privileged to come in the Martin Hand Cart Company.”
Francis Webster

Brenda Diann Johnson
“When you remember your own cross experience, you are not so quick to put down or talk about others.”
Brenda Diann Johnson

“Those who do not know emotional baggage also do not know about the tribulations of the world.
But those who do not learn to cope with its burdens also forget about its beauty.”
Dahi Tamara Koch, Within the event horizon: poetry & prose

“Just as sick people need surgery and cautery to recover the health they have lost, so we need trials, and toils of repentance, and fear of death and punishment, so that we may regain our former health of soul and shake off the sickness which our folly has induced. The more the Physician of our souls bestows upon us voluntary and involuntary suffering, the more we should thank Him for His compassion and accept the suffering joyfully: For it is to help us that He increases our tribulation, both through the sufferings we willingly embrace in our repentance and through the trials and punishments not subject to our will. In this way, if we voluntarily accept affliction, we will be freed from our sickness and from the punishments to come, and perhaps even from present punishments as well.”
St. Peter of Damascus

“His days were full of nights.”
Harold Hoefle, The Mountain Clinic

“The war had made some into libertines and some into serious, sober men.”
Charles Bracelen Flood, Lee: The Last Years

“Jesus is no genie in a lamp. All the happy thoughts and positive thinking in the world will not keep life from being life. I've come to believe that, as big risks offer the potential for great reward or great failure, the biggest waves bring the swiftest undertow. As I learned to accept this principle rather than fight it, a deeper understanding of the call to perseverance, which appears so frequently in the Bible, emerged. As I learned to persevere, something mysterious began to happen: the more difficult things became, the deeper I looked at myself, sought God's guidance, and let go. It is like the scripture that reads, "And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”
Joan Ball, Flirting with Faith: My Spiritual Journey from Atheism to a Faith-Filled Life

Michael Bassey Johnson
“Some people can hate you and perhaps hire others to join the bandwagon, but one thing is certain; they can’t turn God against you.”
Michael Bassey Johnson, The Infinity Sign

Madeline Miller
“He says, it will be all right. He does not mean that it does not hurt. He does not mean that we are not frightened. Only that: we are here. This is what it means to swim in the tide, to walk the earth and feel it touch your feet. This is what it means to be alive.”
Madeline Miller, Circe

C.G. Jung
“Es sorprendente la transformación que se opera en el carácter de un individuo al irrumpir en él las fuerzas colectivas. Un ser humano afable y sensato puede tornarse un maníaco o una bestia salvaje.”
C.G. Jung, Psychology and Religion

Charles Dickens
“My name is on the first leaf. If you can ever write under my name, ‘I forgive her,’ though ever so long after my broken heart is dust—pray do it!”

“O Miss Havisham,” said I, “I can do it now. There have been sore mistakes; and my life has been a blind and thankless one; and I want forgiveness and direction far too much, to be bitter with you.”
Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

“God wanted everyone around Judea and Jerusalem to hear the gospel before He allowed the Old Covenant world to be destroyed.”

Bob Palumbo
“We have all probably heard the phrase, ’The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.’ Could we also apply that to God Almighty? I believe we can. The Bible clearly teaches that God changes not. So, how He interacted with mankind during troublesome times in the past is most likely a great indicator of how He will manifest Himself again in future biblical events.”
Bob Palumbo, God's Nature and the End of the Age

Dayton Hartman
“The kingdom of Christ is already here through his church. Our churches are outposts or embassies of Christ’s rule and reign. And yet we are still waiting for the return of the king with his kingdom in full.”
Dayton Hartman, Jesus Wins: The Good News of the End Times

Pope Gregory XVI
“We come to you grieving and sorrowful because We know that you are concerned for the faith in these difficult times. Now is truly the time in which the powers of darkness winnow the elect like wheat. 'The earth mourns and fades away….And the earth is infected by the inhabitants thereof, because they have transgressed the laws, they have changed the ordinances, they have broken the everlasting covenant.”
Pope Gregory XVI, Mirari Vos

“Your suffering is your credibility.”
Daniel Taotua

Dex added, “God blinded a generation specifically so we can develop it. God didn’t want people to have these flying machines until it fits into his plan. So, it’s God’s timing. The world isn’t falling apart; it’s falling together toward God’s plan. He wins in the end! He is planning something fantastic, isn’t he?”
Jim Campbell, Nineveh Rising

John Patrick
“The rapture is after the Tribulation, it is easy as 1 - 2 3. Read Matthew 24:15 (1) and Matthew 24:21 (2) and Matthew 24: 29-31 (3) Jesus outlines this so so clearly. His Word is and will continue to be a light unto our path!”
John Patrick, Triumph in Tribulation: "Don't Be Left Behind in Spirit"

Charles Haddon Spurgeon
“How can I expect to be at home in the enemy’s country, joyful while in exile, or comfortable in a wilderness? This is not my rest. This is the place of the furnace, the forge, and the hammer.”
