A Noble Comfort Quotes

“Oh, Eternal, how I praise you. You have brought light to the darkness, justice to the evil, and hope to the fearful.”

“But as I continue to remind myself, ‘What’s the worst that can happen? I don’t know, but God will take care of it, whatever it is,’ that truth sinks into me and sustains me for one more moment. And I’ve discovered that one moment at a time is all I need. He’ll be there in the next moment too.”

“The Eternal was not defeated. The evil was not winning against him. He was still in control. ‘Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further.’ Like the master creator that he was, he knew how this tale would unroll. The perfect ending was not only thought of; it was coming. Nothing could change it. The villains could not surprise him by destroying a hero or putting up a greater fight than he expected. The story would draw to a close at the right time, and the climax was already a guaranteed victory.
The Eternal was not crushed or even slightly inconvenienced. He was winning. The evil might think it was successful, but its downfall was already irreversible.
The Almighty had already won the victory.”

“He remembered the prayers as they begged for revival and change. Father, you must act, for none other can, and things must change, for if they do not…
O Eternal, do you not understand?
Will you not do anything?
You are our last hope. We have done all we could.
Oh, the sublime foolishness of viewing the creator as their final chance! Of seeing the truth as overcome!”

“The darkness was not gone forever. Likely enough it would take days, weeks, perhaps even months or years to fully be freed. Probably it would always be near; probably she would always be vulnerable to its attack.
Yet the Eternal who lit her darkness in one way could also in another. He could sustain her in every aspect. He would always be there, ready and able to help. Ever loving.”

“So I tried to remember to pray over every chapter. Over every obstacle. Over every ‘I don't know what to do next.”
