“If God didn't withhold from us His very own Son, will God withhold anything we need?”

“God didn't save his son one stroke of misery. He won't withhold any good thing from you.”

“God withholds Himself from no one who perseveres.”

“God withholds blessing only in wisdom, never in spite or aloofness.”

“Something we were withholding made us weak, until we found it was ourselves.”

“The Christian doctrine of suffering explains, I believe, a very curious fact about the world we live in. The settled happiness and security which we all desire, God withholds from us by the nature of the world: but joy, pleasure, and merriment He has scattered broadcast...The security we crave would teach us to rest our hearts in this world and oppose an obstacle to our return to God...Our Father refreshes us on the journey with some pleasant inns, but will not encourage us to mistake them for home.”
