‘Don’t you know that day follows night, that flood comes after ebb, that spring and summer succeed winter. Hope then! Hope always! For God does not fail you. Don’t you know that your God loves you in all this? Mountains when in darkness are as real as in the day, and God’s love to you is as true to you now as it was in your brightest moments….Come sing in the midst of tribulation. Rejoice even when passing through the furnace. Make the wilderness blossom like a rose! Cause the desert to ring with exalting joys.’

— Charles Spurgeon
