“Among Christians so much prominence
has been given to the disciplinary effects
of sorrow, affliction, bereavement,
that they have been in danger of
overlooking the other and more obvious side:
that by every joy, by every favor,
by every sign of prosperity --
yea, and by these chiefly --
God designs to educate and discipline His children.
This one-sided view of the truth
has made many morbid, gloomy Christians,
who look for God's hand only in the lightning
and never think of seeing it in the sunlight.”
- F. E. Clark
