Our Trials

If God hath sent thee a cross, take it up and follow him; use it wisely, lest it be unprofitable; bear it patiently, lest it be intolerable; behold in it God's anger against sin, and his love towards thee — in punishing the one, and chastening the other. If it be light, slight it not; if heavy, murmur not. Not to be sensible of a judgment, is the symptom of a hardened heart; and to be displeased at his displeasure, is a sign of a rebellious will.--Anon
