Sin, sorrow, and suffering are, and it is not for us to say that God has made a mistake in allowing them. Sorrow removes a person's shallowness, but it does not make us a better person. Suffering gives us over to ourself or destroys us. You cannot find or receive yourself through success, because you lose your head over pride. You cannot receive yourself through monotony because you give in to complaining. The only way to find yourself is through the fires of sorrow.
You can tell the person who has been through the fires of sorrow, because in the time of trouble, this one is a benefit to many. For the one who has not shared that same experience, he is contemptuous and turns away others.
Daily Prayer: Father, we know that all things come together for good to those who love you. Allow us to receive from Your hand whatever You will knowing that all things you do are for good even if we cannot see the end from the beginning. Let us decide to trust You in all matters.
Amen.
