God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.--C.S. Lewis
When you and I hurt deeply, what we really need is not an explanation from God, but a revelation of God. We need to see how great God is; we need to recover our lost erspective on life. Things get out of proportion when we suffer, and it takes a vision of something bigger than ourselves to get life's dimensions adjusted again.--Warren Wiersbe
I was in the central highlands in Vietnam when someone remarked about how the Christian's suffer there. One Vietnamese Christian remarked, "Suffering is not the worst thing that can happen to us. Disobedience to God is the worst thing."--Tom White
