There are rich blessings that we can get only through sorrow. It would be a short sighted love, therefore, that would heed our cries for deliverance and spare us from sorrow because we desired it, thus depriving us of blessings which God intends to send to us in the sorrow, and which can come to us in no other way.
“If loving heart were never lonely,
If all things wished might always be,
Accepting what they looked for only,
They might be glad, but not in Thee,
“We need as much the cross we bear
As air we breathe, as light we see;
It draws us to Thy side in prayer,
It bends us to our strength in Thee.”
