Iron Saints
As you experience all that sorrow, hardship and burden , you become more self-disciplined, are all conducive to an iron tenacity and strength of purpose, and endurance or strength, which are the indispensable foundation and framework of a noble character.
Do not draw back from suffering; bear it silently, patiently, resignedly; and be sure that it is God's way of infusing iron into your spiritual life. God wants to make an iron saint out of you and since there is no way of imparting iron to the moral nature but by letting people suffer, He lets you suffer.
Do not give up !!
Take heart; the time is not wasted; God is only putting you through the iron course of therapy. Iron is entering into your soul to make it strong and brave.
Psalm 105 : 18
His soul entered into iron
