"...the worst of times are not wasted. They are not wasted globally, historically, or personally. When you think he [God] is farthest from you, or has even turned against you, the truth is that as you cling to him, he is laying foundation stones of greater happiness in your life.
'Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust him for his grace;
Behind a frowning providence,
He hides a smiling face.'" -William Cowper
~ John Piper (from "A Sweet and Bitter Providence")
