One of the greatest evidences of GOD's love to those that love Him is, to send them afflictions, which grace to bear them. ~ John Wesley ~ "'It is good for me that I have been afflicted, That I may learn Your statutes."' ~ PSALM 119:71 (NKJV) "'It was good that I had to suffer in order to learn Your laws."' ~GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995)
