"That I am not my own, but belong with body and soul, both in life and in death, to my faithful Saviour Jesus Christ. He has fully paid for all my sins with His precious blood, and has set me free from all the power of the devil. He also preserves me in such a way that without the will of my heavenly Father not a hair can fall from my head; indeed, all things must work together for my salvation. Therefore, by His Holy Spirit He also assures me of eternal life and makes me heartily willing and ready from now on to live for Him." - Heidelberg Catechism Q1
 
This quote has given me great assurance in times of doubt and fear and makes me remember why I serve the Lord - not out of fear or merit - but out of gratitude and love. And that all joy and tribulations work together for His purpose - God will never give me a test He has not prepared me for!
