All that glisters is not gold—
Often have you heard that told.
Many a man his life hath sold
But my outside to behold:
Gilded tombs do worms enfold...
— William Shakespeare
*
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
— JRR Tolkien
Your way was through the sea,
Your path through the great waters;
yet Your footprints were unseen.
- psalm 77.19
+
do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation,
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.
and the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
- philippians 4.6-7
+ perseverance cont'd.
