in The Messenger of Peace (1877)
THEN ONE OF THE STRONGEST MARKS of regeneration
is true humility, which is opposed to pride and arrogance, and
this humility is a fruit of our Father’s rod. Then we should be
thankful that the rod is in his own hands, who always uses it
with much mercy and for our profit, causing the peaceable fruits
of righteousness to flow from its correction. Then let it be outward
affliction or inward grief, it shall all work together for the
good of every regenerated soul. For God’s grace is sufficient for
them, and their strength is made perfect in weakness. |
