Affliction is good – Thomas Watson
Afflictions work for good, as they conform us to Christ. His life was a series of sufferings—”a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief” Isaiah 53:3. He wept, and bled! Was His head crowned with thorns—and do we think to be crowned with roses? It is good to be like Christ—though it be by sufferings!

Give me the love that leads the way
The faith that nothing can dismay
The hope no disappointments tire
The passion that will burn like fire
Let me not sink to be a clod
Make me Thy fuel, Flame of God!”
