Cheerfulness is a sign of a generous and mortified person who forgetting all things, even herself, tries to please her God in all she does for souls. Cheerfulness is often a cloak which hides a life of sacrifice and a continual union with God (Which Quotes)
Sin, in the final analysis, is rebellion against the sovereign Creator, Ruler, and Judge of the universe.

God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which he must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves (Which Quotes)
