The steel that has suffered most is the best steel. It has been in the furnace, on the anvil, in the jaws of the vice.
It has been heated & hammered & filed until it does
not know itself & it comes out a splendid knife.
Misfortunes are God's best blessings, molding influences
which give shapeliness & edge & durability & power.
- Henry Ward Beecher (moreillustrations.com)
Js 1:2-4 (GNT): “My friends, consider yourselves fortunate
when all kinds of trials come your way, for you know that when your faith succeeds
in facing such trials, the result is the ability to endure. Make sure that your
endurance carries you all the way without failing, so that you may be perfect
and complete, lacking nothing.”
“Life's trials are
not easy. But in God's will, each has a purpose. Often He uses them to enlarge
you.” - Warren Wiersbe.
