Pain Quote by Charles H. Spurgeon

“Do you expect to suffer long nights of languishing and days of pain? O be not sad! That bed may become a throne to you. You little know how every pang that shoots through your body may be a refining fire to consume your dross--a beam of glory to light up the secret parts of your soul.” quote by Charles H. Spurgeon
