(Letters of John Newton)
"Now I know in part--then I shall know fully."
Soon we shall see cause to number our sharpest trials, among our choicest
mercies! Then we shall say, "He has done all things well."
Our trials are but for a season. We shall not always live in
this poor, dying, trying, suffering, sinful state! Yet a little while, and all
our sorrows will be left below--and this poor earth will be exchanged for a
glorious Heaven!
Our present troubles will soon be to us--as the remembrance
of a dream when we awake!
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we
are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light
and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs
them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen--but on what is unseen. For
what is seen is temporary--but what is unseen is eternal!" 2 Corinthians
4:16-18
