Voice of Revival: IT IS FOR OUR GOOD!. ' Now no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous : nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of Righteousness unto them which are trained by it, Heb. 12:11'. It is the treasures that cost us mast that enrich us. The world’s greatest blessings have come out of its greatest sorrows. Many of the finest things in Christian character are the fruits of suffering. Many a Christian had entered a trial, cold, worldly-minded and unspiritual and emerged from it with a spirit softened, mellowed and enriched. Afflictions, sanctified, soften the harshness and asperities of life. They consume the dross of selfishness and worldliness. They humble pride. They temper human ambitions. They quell the fire of passions. They show us the evil of our own heart, revealing our weaknesses, faults, and blemishes and making us aware of spiritual danger. They discipline the wayward spirit. In no other school can some of us learn the lessons of patience, tolerance and forbearance- except in the school of suffering.
