"If my God's ways seem strange, mysterious and difficult to me, and if the wishes I cherish sink quietly into the sea of worries, if the day that has brought me nothing but pain and suffering passes dull and heavy, then I can remember one thing: that God never makes a mistake!"
(Herbert Sack | Written in Stalingrad in 1943)
"When the Lord's thoughts are too high for me,
the wells of His grace are too deep,
when all supports are shaking helplessly,
I lack strength and patience,
when my gaze can no longer find a goal
in anxious, tearful vigil,
a spark of faith nevertheless announces
that God never makes a mistake!"
(Herbert Sack | Written in Stalingrad in 1943)
"When my heart trembles in despair over unresolved questions, when I want to despair of God's love because ignorance rises, then I can gently place all my weary longing into God's hands and say with tears that God never makes a mistake."
(Herbert Sack | Written in Stalingrad in 1943)
"So be still, my heart, and let everything earthly and fleeting pass away, in the light above you will see that the paths he shows are good. And if you have to miss what you love most, even if it goes through cold, dark night, hold on to this blessed knowledge: that God never makes a mistake!"

Everyone thinks of GOD as it corresponds to their own particular needs.
It is by no means necessary to think of GOD as others do. But it is necessary to think of him as the one who gives you what you need. The weak need God's strength, the strong his mildness, the seduced or fallen his redeeming grace and the just his mercy for sinners. The lonely need him as a friend and the champions for the good cause need his guidance. This is how GOD can be everything to you. Anything you want. We humans usually only turn to GOD when we need him.
