"Cast not away your confidence because God defers his performances. That which does not come in your time, will be hastened in his time, which is always the more convenient season. God will work when he pleases, how he pleases, and by what means he pleases. He is not bound to keep our time, but he will perform his work, honor our faith, and reward them that diligently seek him."
--- Matthew Henry
"Sadness does not equal unbelief. There are things that can and should break our hearts and make us sad. It’s called lament and throughout the pages of scripture, there seems to be an awful lot of it. When I see glimpses of God’s goodness amidst the sadness, I can stare directly into the sadness and yet worship. Lament is a kind of worship that says, “This is wrong, but I know You are good.”

(Thanks to Jen Hughes for finding these. They were way to good not to share.)
