Pushed into God's Best

A sentence from one of my mother’s letters helped many a young worker beset as all are, if indeed they are taking up their Cross daily and following their Lord.

“The devil can wall us in, but he cannot roof us over. We can always get out at the top. Our difficulties are God’s challenges, and He lets them be so hard often, that we must either go under or rise above them. Such an hour brings out the highest possibilities of faith, and we are pushed by the very emergency into God’s best.”
