I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret
places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy
name, am the God of Israel.

--ISAIAH 45:3

GOD! Thou art Love! I build my faith on that! I know Thee, Thou hast
kept my path and made

Light for me in the darkness--tempering sorrow,

So that it reached me like a solemn joy:

It were too strange that I should doubt Thy love.

--ROBERT BROWNING

IF I believe in God, in a Being who made me, and fashioned me, and knows
my wants and capacities and necessities, because He gave them to me, and
who is perfectly good and loving, righteous, and perfectly wise and
powerful,--whatever my circumstances in.ward or outward may be, however
thick the darkness which encompasses me, I yet can trust, yea, be
assured, that all will be well, that He can draw light out of darkness,
and make crooked things straight.

--THOMAS ERSKINE

Though sorrows, heaviness, and faintings of heart ever so much increase;
yet, if thy faith increase also, it will bear thee up in the midst of
them. I would fain have it go well with thee, and that thou mightest not
want the holy Counsellor and Adviser, in any strait or difficulty which
the wise and tender God orders to befall thee.

--ISAAC PENINGTON
