"Your afflictions may only prove that you are……" — Robert Murray M'Cheyne

"Your afflictions may only prove that you are more immediately under the Father's hand. There is no time that the patient is such an object of tender interest to the surgeon, as when he is bleeding beneath his knife. So you may be sure if you are suffering from the hand of a reconciled God, that His eye is all the more bent on you."

— Robert Murray M'Cheyne
