"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!"

If we believe that God is taking care of our problems, this is the moment when my soul senses God.
This feeling of being in touch with the Spirit of God is more wonderful than all material joys. I have to try to feel this touch in the silence, even for a moment. Then all restlessness, all lust for life falls away from me. Then I feel good, healthy and calm inside that I can help others. Touching with God is an effective remedy. I want to learn to feel that and feel his presence.
