And oh! above all, when thy God hides His face, say not that He hath forgotten thee.
He is but tarrying a little while to make thee love Him better;
and when He cometh, thou shalt have joy in the Lord, and shalt rejoice with joy unspeakable. Waiting exercises our grace;
waiting tries our faith;
therefore, wait on in hope;
for though the promise tarry, it can never come too late.
~C. H. Spurgeon**
A cup brimful of sweetness cannot spill even one drop of bitter water, no matter how suddenly jarred.
