“Afflictions are but the shadows of God's wings.”
George MacDonald
“Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron; / Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High: / Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.”
Bible
“The very afflictions of our earthy pilgrimage are presages of our future glory, as shadows indicate the sun.”
Richter
“Comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable.”
Finley Peter Dunne
“The Lord gets His best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction.”
Charles H. Spurgeon
“Nothing is more desirable than to be released from an affliction, but nothing is more frightening than to be divested of a crutch.”
James Arthur Baldwin
“Affliction comes to us, not to make us sad but sober; not to make us sorry but wise.”
Henry Ward Beecher
