Scripture · Hope & Comfort

Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears, for your work will be rewarded, says Yahweh. They will come again from the land of the enemy. There is hope for your latter end, says Yahweh. Your children will come again to their own territory.

Quote · Hope & Comfort

And I gave way to the tears which I before restrained, to overflow as much as they desired; reposing my heart upon them; and it found rest in them, for it was in Thy ears, not in those of man, who would have scornfully interpreted my weeping.

Scripture · Hope & Comfort

Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

Scripture · Hope & Comfort

for you will forget your misery. You will remember it like waters that have passed away. Life will be clearer than the noonday. Though there is darkness, it will be as the morning.

Quote · Hope & Comfort

Sorrow opens our eyes, and bids us see visions within the vail, which cannot be described by those who have not wept.

Scripture · Hope & Comfort

You count my wanderings. You put my tears into your container. Aren’t they in your book?

Quote · Hope & Comfort

She is not sent away, but only sent before, like unto a star, which going out of our sight doth not die and vanish, but shineth in another hemisphere.

Quote · Gratitude & Joy

Praise for pensiveness, thanks for tears, and blessing God over the floods of affliction, makes the most melodious music in the ear of Heaven.

Scripture · Hope & Comfort

so that he sets up on high those who are low, those who mourn are exalted to safety.

Quote · Hope & Comfort

The child has but changed a bed in the garden, and is planted up higher, nearer the sun, where he shall thrive better than in this outfield muir-ground.

Quote · Hope & Comfort

God has dried up one channel of your love by the removal of your husband.

Quote · Hope & Comfort

It is faith’s work to claim and challenge loving-kindness out of all the roughest strokes of God. Do that for the Lord which ye will do for time: time will calm your heart at that which God has done, and let our Lord have it now. What love ye did bear to friends now dead, seeing they stand now in no need of it, let it fall as just legacy to Christ.

Quote · Hope & Comfort

What then was it which did grievously pain me within, but a fresh wound wrought through the sudden wrench of that most sweet and dear custom of living together?

Quote · Hope & Comfort

The Evil One delights in sadness and melancholy, because they are his own characteristics.

Scripture · Hope & Comfort

When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, Don’t cry.
