Thought for Today: Thursday May 26:

Affliction can be a means of refining and of purification… We might never have had the songs of Fanny Grosby had she not been afflicted with blindness. George Matheson would never have given the world his immortal song – O Love that Will Not Let Me Go – had it not been for the pain of personal tragedy and heartache. The – Hallelujah Chorus – was written by Handel when he was poverty-stricken and suffering from a paralyzed right side and right arm…

Whatever the reason, if YHVH allows affliction on your life, take it in faith as a blessing and not as a curse. Keep on praising and thanking Him for every situation, how difficult it may be.
