Capitolo 20
the members of every family, as they surrender us to them one to the time, you/he/she can call
back to us, and it says, for the past, "All are here."
God picks here up a family and there, in a circle of knowledges and
friends, and greatly it torments them; and so him insignia others. As us
you look, on the afflicted one, we should say therefore,,--
"For they languish them to us, and for they die them to us;
And will they languish, will they die, in vain?"
God is the same when he brings away his/her child, as when he placed that gift
in our hands. The removal is perhaps really, indeed, a greater exercise
of love that the gift. It has to seem good and acceptable in the sight of
God, if, when we am the aching ones, we assume every now and then there in
trying in front of him the circumstances in his/her goodness passed that, to
the time, it did him/it very sweet and precious. Our debt of obligation
for him it is not completely paid yet; neither you/he/she is decreased to all by the removal
of the benediction. Instead of surrendering us to the pain, we do well, if
us common with God respects more frequently his/her fit signals of favor
in the connection with the lost benediction.
But the memory of the lost joys is proper to always depress the mind
immoderately. We question if it is really best possession
"beloved and lost
What never to have loved at all."
Complaining a future life in the account, certainly without doubt you/he/she can remain as to
that question; but one that has really loved, it won't be long in to come
to the same conclusion, disrespectful of the future. Owes God abstains him
from the it stuffed very happy, because, forsooth, we will be this way
unhappy when, in the exercise of the same goodness and the wisdom that
done dictate the gift, does he see better it to bring him/it street? If we love him to us more
what we love his/her gifts, then the removal of it will do them us to love him/it
never.
"Although He now knits the eyelashes, I will praise the name of the Almighty,
And it blesses the source from where past enjoyments it came."
