Of such a one I will boast; yet of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities. (2 Corinthians 12:5) Suffering and success go together. If you are succeeding without suffering, it is because others before you have suffered; if you are suffering without succeeding, it is that others after you may succeed. Happy are they that mourn. They can be happy because they know that their pain, their distress, and their privation are the travail of a new creation, the birthpangs of a better world. They can be happy if they are aware that the Master Artist, God, is employing both light and shadow to produce a masterpiece worthy of divine artistry. They can also glory in their infirmities, smile through their tears, and sing in the midst of their sorrow, because they realize that in Gods economy, If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him. Prayer For The Day: In suffering I will learn to praise you, our loving Savior.
