Borrowed from a friend
Karl Heinrich Von Bogatzky (1690-1774) said this:
The nearer to Heaven, the higher the Mountains, the Deeper the Valleys, and the sharper the conflicts. Be not discouraged; it is only the trial of our Faith. God also gives more strength, carries us through all, as He has done from the beginning, and suffers none to be ashamed who trust in Him. Sometimes we may seem to be tempted above measure and are afraid of being confounded;but far from it; it is quite impossible that we should. Here are the plain words of the Lord. Take hold of them and wait on His time; for since the world stood, none have been confounded in anything who have waited on His promise; and surely He will not make you the first instance of the failure of His Word. By no means.
