A manifestation of God's love for us
These afflictions from the Lord, Who watches
over us, do not happen to the servants of God without benefit, but for a trial of
true love toward the God Who created us. For as the toils of the contests
lead the athletes on to their crowns, so also the test, through
tribulations, leads Christians on to perfection, if we
receive, with appropriate patience, and in all gratitude, what is
dispensed to us by the Lord. All things are directed by the goodness of
the Master.
