John Wesley
We are to bear with those we cannot amend, and to be content with offering them to God. This is true resignation. And since He has borne our infirmities, we may well bear those of each other for His sake.
John Wesley

Les ennuis sont l'un des grands serviteurs de Dieu car ils nous rappellent à quel point nous avons continuellement besoin du Seigneur.
Jim Cymbala
Trouble is one of God's great servants because it reminds us how much we continually need the Lord.

Sorrows and trials are like the sand and grit that polish a stone.

A. B. Simpson
You will have no test of faith that will not fit you to be a blessing if you are obedient to the Lord. I never had a trial but when I got out of the deep river I found some poor pilgrim on the bank that I was able to help by that very experience.

Kevin DeYoung, The Hole in Our Holiness, 2012, p. 42-43.
When we violate our sense of right and wrong, even if the action in itself is not sinful, we are guilty of sin. “Whatever does not proceed from faith is sin” (Rom. 14:23). That means, if you don’t believe what you are doing is acceptable, then it’s not acceptable for you to do it. You must not ignore your conscience… Even if the Bible gives the green light, the red light in your conscience should not be transgressed.
Kevin DeYoung, The Hole in Our Holiness, 2012, p. 42-43.
Mark Dever et Paul Alexander
When the Gospel enables us to live in love, even though we may have nothing else in common save Christ, it is a testimony to its power to transform a group of sinful, self-centered people into a loving community united by a common relationship with Jesus Christ.

François Fénelon
I believe that we are conforming to the divine order and the will of Providence when we are doing even indifferent things that belong to our condition.

John Newton
The love I bear Christ is but a faint and feeble spark, but it is an emanation from himself: He kindled it and he keeps it alive; and because it is his work, I trust many waters shall not quench it.
John Newton
Walter Chantry, The Shadow of the Cross - Studies in Self-Denial, 1981, p. 28-29.
There are no easy steps to witnessing! No painless, unembarrassing methods! You must bring men to see that they are filthy sinners under the wrath of God who must flee to Christ for mercy. That is offensive. And there is no way to coat it with honey.
Walter Chantry, The Shadow of the Cross – Studies in Self-Denial, 1981, p. 28-29.

James H. Aughey
There is dew in one flower and not in another, because one opens its cup and takes it in, while the other closes itself and the drop runs off. So God rains goodness and mercy as wide as the dew, and if we lack them, it is because we do not open our hearts to receive them.

It is in the process of being worshipped that God communicates His presence to men.
