Stepping Heavenward's Quotes

"But I see, too, that the great points of similarity in Christ's disciples have always been the same. This is the testimony of all the good books, sermons, hymns, and memoirs I read- that God's ways are infinitely perfect; that we are to love Him for what He is and therefore equally as much when He afflicts us as when He prospers us; that there is NO REAL HAPPINESS but in doing and suffering His will; and that this life is but a scene of probation through which we pass to the real life above.

Oh, how shall I ever learn the sweet charity that thinketh no evil and believeth all things!"

Elizabeth Prentiss, Stepping Heavenward
