Suffering as Life’s Turning Point

THERE are no times in life when opportunity, the chance to be and to do, gathers so richly about the soul as when it has to suffer. Then everything depends on whether the man turns to the lower or the higher helps. If he resorts to mere expedients and tricks, the opportunity is lost. He comes out no richer or greater; nay, he comes out harder, poorer, smaller for his pain. But if he turns to God, the hour of suffering is the turning-point of his life.—Phillips Brooks.
