Good To Be Afflicted >:

No One Like To Suffer.

If It Were Up To Us,

We Would Probably

Choose To Enjoy Nothing

But Ease And Prosperity.



If Lessons Need To Be

Learned, Don't Make Us

Learn Them The Hard Way!



But The Inescapable Truth,

In Principle As Well As In

Our Experience, Is That

The Pain Of Life Can Be A

Great Teacher.



When We're In Pain, We're

More Likely To Look Beyond

Ourselves For Help.



Our Neediness Can Drive Us

To God, Both For Comfort

And For His Wise Solutions

To Our Problems.



A Sincere Follower Of The

Lord Is Willing To Be Taught

Wisdom And To Look For The

Lessons In Affliction.



When We're Open To The

Hidden Gifts Of Coming To

The End Of Our Rope, We

Can Actually Be Grateful

For Our Trials < Ro 5:3-5 >
