Now this is a mystery to a carnal heart. They can see no such thing; perhaps they think God loves them when he prospers them and makes them rich, but they think God loves them not when he afflicts them. That is a mystery, but grace instructs men in that mystery, grace enables men to see love in the very frown of God's face, and so come to receive contentment.
Jeremiah BurroughsFaith has this excellency, that it is able to bring life out of death, light out of darkness. It has a kind of creating virtue.
