assurance

Nothing consoles and comforts like certainty does.

We have joy for the assurance of the promise.

How are you feeling, man?" he asks me."Great," I tell him, and it is purely the truth. Doves clatter up out of a bare tree and turn at the same instant, transforming themselves from steel to silver in the snow-blown light. I know at that moment that the drug is working. Everything before me has become suddenly, radiantly itself. How could Carlton have known this was about to happen? "Oh," I whisper. His hand settles on my shoulder."Stay loose, Frisco," he says. "There's not a thing in this pretty world to be afraid of. I'm here."I am not afraid. I am astonished. I had not realized until this moment how real everything is. A twig lies on the marble at my feet, bearing a cluster of hard brown berries. The broken-off end is raw, white, fleshly. Trees are alive."I'm here," Carlton says again, and he is.

Now, this is what the Lord says, "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.

God never fails. No matter how long it takes, the promise will be fulfilled.

Hope is an enthusiastic assurance.

God is never far from His people, even when they are far from Him.

I imagine that the intelligent people are the ones so intelligent that they don't even need or want to look 'intelligent' anymore.

If you truly want to be respected by people you love, you must prove to them that you can survive without them.

I can assure you that the life outside the front door is full of optimism and energy

Tell me, he said, "What is this thing about time? Why is it better to be late than early? People are always saying, we must wait, we must wait. what are they waiting for?""Well [_] I guess people wait in order to make sure of what they feel.""And when you have waited_-has it made you sure?

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

It sometimes requires ignorance and arrogance to know something for sure.

Nothing is as seductive as the assurance of success.

Perhaps nature is our best assurance of immortality.

Doesn't it give you a supernatural and ultimate feeling of assurance, comfort, safety and security to know that wherever you go God is there with you? He is your Peace, Shield and Strength! He loves you! His love is eternal!

Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark.

When you know your purpose in life, then by faith you know God will enable you to do it
