No matter how difficult things are, and no matter how much grief and loss there is, you can turn it into something positive.

I sometimes find it half a sin, To put to words the grief i feel, For words like nature,half reveal, and half conceal the soul within,

“A life that is burdened with expectations is a heavy life. Its fruit is sorrow and disappointment.” 

As an elephant in the battlefield withstands arrows shot from bows all around, even so shall I endure abuse.

Everyone is overridden by thoughts; that’s why they have so much heartache and sorrow.

Whoever finds love beneath hurt and grief disappears into emptiness with a thousand new disguises.

Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life’s search for love and wisdom.

Sorrow… It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.

Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place.

Don’t be sad! Because God sends hope in the most desperate moments. Don’t forget, the heaviest rain comes out of the darkest clouds.

Don’t dismiss the heart, even if it’s filled with sorrow. God’s treasures are buried in broken hearts.

This place is a dream. Only a sleeper considers it real. Then death comes like dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief.

Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.

Whenever sorrow comes, be kind to it. For God has placed a pearl in sorrow’s hand.

Joy lives concealed in grief.
