Quote from Horatius Bonar


From his article "Comfort in the Night of Weeping" 1808-1889 Horatius Bonar

"Out of all evil comes good to the saints; out of all darkness comes light; out of all sorrow comes joy. Each pang, sharp or slight, is doing its work - the very work which God designs, the very work which we could not do without.....

In affliction we may be quite sure of learning something more of God than we were acquainted with before, for it is just in order to furnish an opportunity for bringing out this and showing it to us that He sends the trial. How little should we know of Him were it not for sorrow! That fullness of blessing comes out to us, what riches of love are spread out before us in the dark and cloudy day!...."
