There is no success without sacrifice. If you succeed without sacrifice it is because someone has suffered before you. If you sacrifice without success it is because someone will succeed after.
Adoniram JudsonRead
Our prayers run along one road and God's answers by another, and by and by they meet.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Our wishes or prayers may not align with immediate outcomes, but eventually, they will converge with divine answers.
This quote emphasizes the notion that while humans may seek answers or outcomes through prayer, the timing and manner in which those prayers are answered may differ from our expectations. Often, our understanding is limited, and it is only through patience and faith that we see how our prayers align with greater plans or divine interventions.
