John Henry Newman
I will trust Him. Whatever, wherever I am, I can never be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him in perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him if I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him. My sickness, or perplexity, or sorrow may be necessary causes of some great end, which is quite beyond us. He does nothing in vain.
John Henry Newman

John Henry Newman

John Henry Newman
God has created me to do Him some definite service He has committed some work to me which he has not committed to another, I have my mission ... He has not created me for naught ... If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him If I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him. He does nothing in vain. He knows what He is about.
John Henry Newman
