The Purpose of Sorrow
When sorrow comes under the power of divine grace, it works out a manifold ministry in our lives. Sorrow reveals unknown depths in the soul and unknown capabilities of experience and service. Gay, trifling people are always shallow, and never suspect the little meanness in their nature. Sorrow is God's plowshare that turns up and subsoils the depths of the soul, that it may yield richer harvests.

Wow, I just recently dealt with a sorrow -- not a tragic one such as death or anything, Thank God -- but a deep sorrow for me nonetheless. It pointed out to me the issues within me that I needed to work on.
Thanks,
Liz
