“Joseph did not endure the pit, potopher’s house, and prison, because he knew he would end up in the Pharaoh’s palace. He simply remained faithful wherever he found himself. God did the rest.” (H.B. Charles Jr.)
AND
“Some suffering is given in order to chastise and correct a person for wrong patterns of life, some suffering is given not to correct past wrongs but to prevent future ones, and some suffering has no purpose other than to lead a person to love God more ardently for himself alone and so discover the ultimate peace and freedom.” (Tim Keller)
Peace, love, light, and joy,
