Sorrows That Awaken Noble Endeavors

God meant our life to be a power, and he has so formed us that our noblest satisfaction is found in what we are able to accomplish for His glory. Sorrows are the spurs which goad to our sublimest endeavors. They freshen and purify the soul. They wake its powers into activity. They set in motion its deepest springs. They crystallize its slumbering desires into stern resolves, which, in turn, they shape into mighty deeds.
