Afflictions are Blessings in Disguise
James 5:11
Behold, we count them happy which endure. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord…


A young man, who had long been confined with a diseased limb, and was near dissolution, said to a friend: "What a precious treasure this affliction has been to me! It saved me from the folly and vanity of youth; it made me cleave to God as my only portion, and to eternal glory as my only hope; and I think it has now brought me very near my Father's house."
