Dear Madam,Every work of God is good; the Holy One in the midst of us will do no iniquity, and all things shall work together for good unto them that love him, even those things which are not joyous, but grievous; only His time is to be waited for, and His way submitted unto, that we seem not to be displeased in our heart that He is Lord over us….God in Christ will be better to you than ten children, and will so preserve your remnant, and so add to them, as shall be for his glory and your comfort…My heart is with you, my prayers shall be for you and I am, Dear Madam, Your affectionate friend and unworthy pastor, J. Owen

“Let us lay our mouths in the dust, and ourselves on the ground, and say, ‘It is the Lord; I will be silent, because he has done it. He is of one mind, and who can turn Him? He does whatever he pleases. Am I not in His hand as clay in the hand of the potter? May He not make what kind of vessel he pleases? When I was not, He brought me out of nothing by His word. What I am, or have, is merely of His pleasure. Oh, let my heart and thoughts be full of deep subjection to His supreme dominion and uncontrollable sovereignty over me!” -John Owen
