"Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy (St. Francis)."

Alistair Begg (b. 1952)
"Christian faith does not grant immunity from sadness and sickness, from bereavement and disappointment. At least not now! Those who suggest that it does mean the present enjoyment of health and wealth and peace and prosperity appeal to the general desire for well being that marks our culture. But such a story is neither true to the Bible nor to human experience" (What Angels Wish They Knew, P. 195). Added 2/22/2017
