Chosen in the Furnace.

LET those who have made up their minds to follow Christ not expect things great and smooth upon earth. God has prepared better things for you which though not pleasant are beneficial. He is good—he is wise, and he has chosen for you. He has chosen contrary to your desires, but he will some day bring you to approve of his choice. Remember when you are murmuring against him, you are murmuring against your own good. "It has pleased the Father to give you the kingdom," and the crosses too. When your names were written in his book, the crosses also, in number and kind were written. "I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished."
