God whispers in our pleasures, but shouts in our pain.

Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.

The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before. That's the deal.

What do people mean when they say, 'I am not afraid of God because I know He is good'? Have they never even been to a dentist?

Even if there were pains in Heaven, all who understand would desire them.

I could well believe that it is God's intention, since we have refused milder remedies, to compel usinto unity, by persecution even and hardship. Satan is without a doubt nothing else than a hammer in thehand of a benevolent and severe God. For all, either willingly or unwillingly, do the will of God:Judas and Satan as tools or instruments, John and Peter as sons.
