Contemplating a thought from today's reading from the book, None But Jesus. I have long prayed. I have waited. I have been troubled, yes, ... but perhaps I shouldn't be.
It would much stay the heart under adversity to consider that God, by such humbling providences may be accomplishing the thing for which you have long prayed and waited. And should you be troubled at that? By such humbling and impoverishing strokes, God may be fulfilling thy desire.

Painting ~ Miss Auras, John Lavery 1856-1941
