"Rest assured, it is the same God who causes the scarcity and the abundance, the rain and the fair weather.  The high and low states, the peaceful and the state of warfare, are each good in their season.  These vicissitudes form and mature the interior, as the different seasons compose the year...God loves you; let this thought equalise all states.  Let him do with us as with the waves of the sea, and whether he takes us to his bosom, or casts us upon the sand, that is, leaves us to our own barrenness, all is well."  Jeanne Guyon
