A bitter cup is given

God gives His redeemed children blessings, as we need them. Every painful experience, brings to us its own store of blessings. Sorrow comes; but, veiled in the sorrow, the angel of comfort comes too.

It grows dark, and then the lamps of promise shine out. Losses are met — but there is a Divine secret that changes loss into gain.

A bitter cup is given — but it proves to be medicine for our soul. Death comes, and seems the end of all; but lo! it is only the beginning of life, for it leads us away from empty shadows — to eternal realities!

"We know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose!" Romans 8:28
