Quote:
Just as after a shock of earthquake springs of sweet water sometimes
emerge in desert places, and the arid wastes are irrigated and become
fruitful, so in certain cases the shock of suffering opens up within the
heart of a man hidden springs of living water, and in place of murmurings
and complainings there issue from him streams of gratitude and joy.
~ Sadhu Sundar Singh 1889-1929 - Indian Christian missionary
Romans 5:3-5 NKJV
We glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
And patience, experience; and experience, hope. Now hope does not
disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts
by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Prayer:
My Lord,
The shock of suffering shakes me to the core. It brings great pain but it
also brings to the surface Your life giving waters. Thank You for Your
blessings in the midst of great suffering. Amen.
