The Taste of Spiritual Joy
* If your Heavenly Father allows you to suffer, this is because he sees a need. It’s a pain not for the purpose of pain, but a pain that carries with it good for you. Trust that He will give you the amount of pain you are in need of, and with the intensity that you can tolerate.
* Do not feel guilty when you get sad because of what God permitted to you of troubles, trials and pains; for He wants you to be sad. You will never taste the spiritual joy unless you taste the spiritual sadness.
