Nine times out of ten it is over the Bridge of Sighs that we pass the narrow gulf from youth to manhood. That interval is usually marked by an ill placed or disappointed affection.

The mind profits by the wrecks of every passion, and we may measure our road to wisdom by the sorrows we have undergone.

You may be confident that if something is necessary for the carrying out of His will in your life, God is ready to give itIf they [desires] are not mere whims to bring only momentary satisfaction or glory to us but are rather true desires to accomplish more good and live more fully to His glory, then it will be in accordance with His will. Only a careful searching of your heart can allow you to know the motivation that prompts your prayer.
