'I carry in my heart a great fear of spoiling things wherever I shall be, and this because of the words I think I heard in the depths of my soul: You are destined to please Me, not so much by success as by bearing failure.'

'It is one of the most firmly established and most consoling of the truths that have been revealed to us that, (apart from sin) nothing happens to us in life unless God wills it so. Wealth and poverty alike come from Him. If we fall ill, God is the cause of our illness; if we get well, our recovery is due to God. We owe our lives entirely to Him, and when death comes to put an end to life, His will be the hand that deals the blow.'

I love this quote!

It is such a consoling thing to know one's afflictions come from God. When you attribute them properly they become far easier to bear, because you know God's will for you is for the good. Folks do not realize until they have tried it how consoling it is.

True!
There is a similar one by Saint Augustine. Do you recall it?

I love this wonderful quote.  Very different.  Will have to read about her.  Thanks Shin!
