Affliction.

"Our light affliction, which is but for a moment." Yes, suffering brother or sister, only "for a moment." It may seem long to the weak flesh; but it is only for a little while. Rest will be sweet after the season of toil. Did you never mark the delightful calm that succeeds the violence of the storm? So it will be with the storm of affliction and trial. If faithful, the blessed, eternal calm that shall succeed, will be doubly glorious. We have it as our happy privilege to be made "perfect through suffering." Let us be faithful to the end. "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him."
