A note from a friend

I've been discussing a few things that have been upsetting me over the past few weeks with a close friend. Today she sent me something she had read somewhere that seems to fit like a piece of a puzzle with the situation right now.

The time of testing that marks and mightily enriches a soul’s spiritual career is no ordinary one, but a period when all hell seems let loose, a period when we realize our souls are brought into a net, when we know that God is permitting us to be in the devil’s hand. But it is a period which always ends in certain triumph for those who have committed the keeping of their souls to Him, a period of marvelous “nevertheless afterward” of abundant usefulness, the sixty-fold that surely follows.

So awesomely true!!
