No Matter How Hard It Is Now, God Eventually Makes It a Happy Ending ㅡ

 “Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.”

 (Jeremiah 31:13)

The bitterness of grief and humiliation is better than the indulgences of sin.

Through affliction God reveals to us the plague spots in our characters, that by His grace we may overcome our faults.

When brought into trial, we are not to fret and complain.

We should not rebel, or worry ourselves out of the hand of Christ.

We are to humble the soul before God.

The ways of the Lord are obscure to him who desires to see things in a light pleasing to himself.

They appear dark and joyless to our human nature.

But God’s ways are ways of mercy and the end is salvation.

Elijah knew not what he was doing when in the desert he said that he had had enough of life, and prayed that he might die.

The Lord in His mercy did not take him at his word.

 (The Desire of Ages 301)
