affliction

I suffered in my spirit, so that my soul will be restored.

One's suffering, one's melancholy is, in itself, really only looked upon as failure or as punishment, as detestable or sinful or socially unacceptable in the eyes of man; but this is not so in the eyes of God: for He is close to the broken-hearted.

Affliction equips the suffering to empathize with others in anguish and not only does it strengthen them, it enables them to be consoling comforters in a world full of hurt.

Be patient in affliction.

There's nothing like active employment, I suppose, to console the afflicted.

Glory follows afflictions, not as the day follows the night but as the spring follows the winter; for the winter prepares the earth for the spring, so do afflictions sanctified prepare the soul for glory.

We love being mentally strong, but we hate situations that allow us to put our mental strength to good use.

The main recipients of injustice in any society are the afflicted the distressed and the troubled one, both in soul and in body.

God is reciprocally responding to the cry of the afflicted.

It is the people who are afflicted with ungodliness and injustice that would cry unto the Lord for change.

The afflicted are basically the majority or only set of people who are insulted by injustice in society today.

Bad luck with women is a determined man's road to success. For every affliction, he makes, out of indignation, yet another advancement in order to exceed the man that the woman chose over him. This goes to show that great men are made great because they once learned how to fight the feeling of rejection.

The eternal stars shine out as soon as it is dark enough.

Be still sad heart and cease repining Behind the clouds the sun is shining Thy fate is the common fate of all Into each life some rain must fall - Some days must be dark and dreary.

Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth.

Genuine faith comes forth from the iron smelter of affliction.

Extraordinary afflictions are not always the punishment of extraordinary sins, but sometimes the trial of extraordinary graces.

It's shame that gets us killed. Shame is the anchor, the heaviest burden to carry from the battlefield. Fortunately shame was an affliction I'd never suffered from.
