Sorrow as God’s Messenger

THE time of the first sorrow is to every life a most critical point, a time of great danger. The way is new and untried, one over which the feet have never passed before. . . . Many lives are wrecked on the hidden reefs and the low, dangerous rocks that skirt the shores of sorrow's sea. . . . It should be received as God's own messenger; and we should welcome it, and listen for the divine message it bears. . . . If we are wise, we shall give sorrow as cordial a welcome as joy; for it is from the same loving hand, and brings gifts as good and golden.—Rev. J. R. Miller.
