\"\"<\/p>\n

Sorrow is better than laughter, because a sad face is good for the heart.
\nEcclesiastes 7:3<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“When sorrow comes under the power of Divine grace, it works out a manifold ministry
\nin our lives. Sorrow reveals unknown depths in the soul, and unknown capabilities of
\nexperience and service. Gay, trifling people are always shallow, and never suspect
\nthe little meannesses in their nature.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sorrow is God’s plowshare that turns up and subsoils the depths of the soul, that it may
\nyield richer harvests. … Hence it is sorrow that makes us think deeply, long, and soberly.
\nSorrow makes us go slower and more considerately, and introspect our motives and dispositions.\"\"<\/p>\n

It is sorrow that opens up within us the capacities of the heavenly life, and it is sorrow
\nthat makes us willing to launch our capacities on a boundless sea of service for God and our
\nfellows. … So it is with many souls who indolently live on the outer edge of their own natures
\nuntil great thunderstorms of sorrow reveal hidden depths within that were never hitherto suspected.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

God never uses anybody to a large degree, until after He breaks that one all to pieces. Joseph had
\nmore sorrows than all the other sons of Jacob, and it led him out into a ministry of bread for all
\nnations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For this reason, the Holy Spirit said of him,”Joseph is a fruitful bough…by a well,
\nwhose branches run over the wall” (Gen.49:22). It takes sorrow to widen the soul.<\/p>\n
