'So all through life these balancings run

"Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity ?" Job 2:10

Every shadow, has its light;

every night, has its morning;

every pang of pain, has its thrill of pleasure;

every salt tear, has its crystal beauty;

every weakness, has its element of strength;

every loss, has its gain.

So all through life these balancings run .

He is not a thoughtful or reverent observer, who has not been struck by this wonderful system of compensations found in all God's providence.

"Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart.

The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised." Job 1:21
