"Thou, O Lord, canst transform my thorn into a flower. And I want my thorn transformed into a flower. Job got the sunshine after the rain, but has the rain been all waste? Job wants to know, I want to know, if the shower had nothing to do with the shining. And thou canst tell me - Thy Cross can tell me. Thou hast crowned Thy sorrow. Be this my crown, O Lord. I only triumph in Thee when I have learned the radiance of the rain."
- George Matheson.
"The fruitful life seeks showers as well as sunshine."
Wow. That is some good old-fashioned theology. As Dr. Fortner would say, "How can you have faith and not know... [this]?"
