“There is no adversity that cannot bear a gift and no gift that cannot bring adversity.”
“Usually life’s greatest gifts come wrapped in adversity.”
“For a hundred that can bear adversity, there is hardly one that can bear prosperity.”
“We cannot infer from prosperity that God is pleased with us, nor can we infer from adversity that he is displeased with us.”
“Gratitude brings a peace that helps us overcome the pain of adversity and failure. Gratitude on a daily basis means we express appreciation for what we have now without qualification for what we had in the past or desire in the future. A recognition of and appreciation for our gifts and talents which have been given also allows us to acknowledge the need for help and assistance from the gifts and talents possessed by others.”
“Love's gift cannot be given, it waits to be accepted.”
