I pray for you, that all your misgivings will be melted to thanksgivings. Remember that the shadow a thing casts often far exceeds the size of the thing itself (especially if the light be low on the horizon) and though some future fear may strut brave darkness as you approach, the thing itself will be but a speck when seen from beyond. Oh that He would restore us often with that 'aspect from beyond, ' to see a thing as He sees it, to remember that He dealeth with us as with sons. Jim Elliot
About This Quote

The above quote is from "The Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan. It is a wonderful and inspiring quote that describes the true meaning of life and the journey we all take through life. We all go through trials and tribulations that we cannot possibly understand. It is hard for us to know if we will pass these tests and if we will ever come out on the other side successful. A lot of times, when things feel bad or hopeless, we have to stop and realize how amazing our God is because He keeps sending us through these tests to see how strong we really are.
