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

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.

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?

God can't give us peace and happiness apart from Himself because there is no such thing.

When we want to be something other than the thing God wants us to be, we must be want what, in fact, will not make us happy.

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