The Peaceful Fruits of Pain

There are lessons of patience and submission, yea, and of gratitude, which are best learned when the head is low. There is a mellowing of the man which is the cloudy autumn weather of weakness or decline—a softening of the spirit, an enlargement of experience, a meeker waiting on God, a weaning from the world, and a ripening of faith; in short, the whole of that maturing process which, in believing men, constitutes the meetness for glory. If you cannot be thankful for the pain, the sickness, the restraint, be thankful for the peaceful fruits.
