circumstance ... a man living in the lap of luxury can be wretched,

and a man in the depths of poverty can overflow with joy."

- William Barclay

be lost for My sake,' Jesus said, 'he will find his true self.'"

- Elisabeth Elliot

refused to take up a cross!"

love Thee for Thine own sake, whose joy Thou Thyself art. And this

is the happy life, to rejoice to Thee, of Thee, for Thee."

- Augustine

"A soul may be in as thriving a state when thirsting, seeking and

mourning after the Lord as when actually rejoicing in Him; as

much in earnest when fighting in the valley as when singing upon

the mount."

"After grief for sin there should be joy for forgiveness."

- A. W. Pink
