Quote★★★★
God’s corrections should be our instructions, his lashes our lessons, and his scourges our schoolmasters, whence, both in Hebrew and Greek, chastening and teaching are expressed by one word. When the grace of an afflicted saint is in exercise, his heart is like a garden of roses, or a well of rose-water, which the more they are moved and agitated, the sweeter is the fragrance they exhale.

The point
