“That is the bitterest of all—to wear the yoke of our own wrong-doing. But if you submitted to that as men submit to maiming or life-long incurable disease?—and made the unalterable wrong a reason for more effort toward a good, that may do something to counterbalance the evil? One who has committed irremediable errors may be scourged by that consciousness into a higher course than is common. There are many examples. Feeling what it is to have spoiled one life may well make us long to save other lives from being spoiled.”

“Indeed, our pain has a purpose. All of it. If we do not believe this, it only means we have not yet turned the corner into trusting in Him more than our pain. This is what Jesus can do with pain, any pain, given to Him. When we surrender our suffering to Him, He makes it into something beautiful, powerful, life changing. But there is something He cannot heal—the pain we refuse to give to Him. And this is pain that destroys.”
