Day Nine: Quotes to Inspire


Today we're supposed to be sharing difficult experiences that God has carried us through. And while I've had some of those this year, I realized that I've also written down a handful of quotes that have helped me through these experiences. There aren't many, but each one has a special message that I hope will inspire you as they have me.

"The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith, and the beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety." -George Muller

"She can, by habit, accustom herself to cheerful thinking, and thus encourage a happy state of mind and cast a cheerful reflection of her own happiness of spirit upon her family and those with whom she associates." -Ellen White

"At all times and in all places, in all sorrows and in all afflictions, when the outlook seems dark and the future perplexing, and we feel helpless and alone, the Comforter will be sent in answer to the prayer of faith…. No circumstance, no distance can separate us from the heavenly Comforter. Wherever we are, wherever we may go, He is always at our right hand to support, sustain, uphold, and cheer." -Ellen White

"Bloom where you are planted." -Unknown

"Learn to live in your will, not in your feelings." -Amy Carmichael

"God would not have us remain pressed down by dumb sorrow, with sore and breaking hearts. He would have us look up and behold His dear face of love. The blessed Saviour stands by many whose eyes are so blinded by tears that they do not discern Him. He longs to clasp our hands, to have us look to Him in simple faith, permitting Him to guide us. His heart is open to our griefs, our sorrows, and our trials. He has loved us with an everlasting love and with loving-kindness compassed us about. We may keep the heart stayed upon Him and meditate upon His loving-kindness all the day. He will lift the soul above the daily sorrow and perplexity, into a realm of peace." -Ellen White
