Gain By Loss Or The Garment Of Praise PDF Download

Excerpt from Gain by Loss: Or the Garment of Praise Lord's mindfulness in times of illness is revealed by this gentle hiding of the future. He does not let us see the length and rough ness of the way all at once, and at every step He grants a blessing. This assertion leads me back to your ques tion regarding the blessings and trials of ill ness. Before we consider them, I pause to note the complex nature of illness. If received merely with reference to ourselves, it becomes purely private property. I mean, the lessons it teaches, and the blessings it brings, are simply of personal value. In a certain sense it is meant to thus develop in dividual grace, faith, patience and holiness. But this personal element is not meant to stamp out affection, feeling and all the sweet emotions of love among friends and relatives.
