Trust

"I have been called to pass through the deep waters of affliction, but all has been satisfied. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord. It is his will that my Dearest wife & child should no longer abide with me, and as it is his holy will, I am perfectly reconciled to the sad bereavement, though I deeply mourn my loss. Oh! The consolations of religion! I can willingly submit to anything if God strengthens me. I have joy in knowing that God withholds no good things from them that love and keep his commandments. And he will overrule this Sad, Sad bereavement for good." - Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson, qtd. in Beloved Bride

What a beautiful testimony is this excerpt from a letter of General Jackson's! Trust in God's sovereignty has comforted His children for hundreds of years. I hope, pray, and trust that it will never cease to do so!
