You have lately been in the furnace, from the letters of John Newton. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows, John chapter 16 verse 33.

Dear friend, You have lately been in the furnace, and are now brought safely out. I hope you have much to say of the grace, care, and skill of the great refiner who watched over you, and that you have lost nothing but dross. Let this experience be treasured up in your hearts for the use of future times.

other trials will come but you have found the Lord faithful to his promise and have good encouragement to trust him again I doubt not but you will have your share of trials but when the love of God is shed abroad in the heart by the Holy Spirit it sweetens what bitter things the Lord puts into our cup and enables us to say none of these things move me

Yes, the life of faith is a happy life. And if attended with conflicts, there is an assurance of victory. If we sometimes get a wound, there is healing balm near at hand. If we seem to fall, we are raised again. And if tribulations abound, consolations shall abound likewise.

Is it not happiness to have an infallible guide, an invincible God, an almighty friend, to be able to say of the Maker of heaven and earth, He is my Beloved, my Shepherd, my Saviour and my Husband? Oh, the peace that flows from believing that all events in which we are concerned are under his immediate disposal, that the hairs of our head are all numbered, and he delights in our prosperity, that there is a need be if we are in heaviness, and that all things shall surely work for our good.

How happy to have such views of God's sovereignty, wisdom, love and faithfulness as will enable us to meet every painful dispensation with submission and to look through the changes of the present life to that unchangeable inheritance to which the Lord is leading us where all evil shall cease and where joy shall be perfect and eternal

and he will wipe every tear from their eyes there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain for the old order of things has passed away Revelation chapter 21 verse 4 you
