When I get listless, I would feel so low that I found myself stuck in a cacoon that I cannot get out of, whatever I did for self-soothing...
Then, one day, I found this old book of mine at the remotest corner of my drawer -- I decided to read through it by following the callendar of the author -- Mrs. Cowman.

"Unto you it is given... to suffer." (Phil.1:29)
God keeps a costly school. Many of its lessons are spelled out through tears.
This school of our Heavenly Father will soon close for us; the term time is shortening every day. Let us not shrink from a hard lesson or wince under any rod of chastisement. The richer will be the crown, and the sweeter will be Heaven, if we endure cheerfully to the end and graduate in glory. --- Theodore L. Cuyler.

The finest china in the world is burned at least three times, some of it more than three times. Dresden china is always burned three times. Why does it go through that intense fire? Once ought to be enough; twice ought to be enough. No, three times are necessary to burn that china so that the gold and the crimson are brought out more beautiful and then fastened there to stay.

We are fashioned after the same principle in human life. Our trials are burned into us once, twice, thrice; and by God’s grace these beautiful colors are there and they are there to stay forever. ---Cortland Myers.
