• ‎"With any major decision there are cautions and considerations to make, but once there has been illumination, beware the temptation to retreat from a good thing. If it was right when you prayed about it and trusted it and lived for it, it ...is right now. Don't give up when the pressure mounts. Certainly don't go to that being who is bent on your destruction of your happiness. Face your doubts. Master your fears. 'Cast not away therefore your confidence.' Stay the course and see the beauty of life unfold for you.

  Jeffrey R. Holland

• God will never disappoint us… If deep in our hearts we suspect that God does not love us and cannot manage our affairs as well as we can, we certainly will not submit to His discipline. …To the unbeliever the fact of suffering only convinces him that God is not to be trusted, does not love us. To the believer, the opposite is true.

Wouldn't you then first discover how much you really trusted it?

The wisdom of God not esteemed. The beauty of God not treasured. The goodness of God not savored. The faithfulness of God not trusted. The commandments of God not obeyed. The justice of God not respected. The wrath of God not feared. The grace of God not cherished. The presence of God not prized. The person of God not loved. That is sin.

• Every midwife knows
  that not until a mother’s womb
  softens from the pain of labor
  will a way unfold
  and the infant find that opening to be born.
  Oh friend!
  There is treasure in your heart,
  it is heavy with child.
  Listen.
  All the awakened ones,
  like trusted midwives are saying,
  'welcome this pain.
  It opens the dark passage of Grace.
