Suffering?
`He
who took humanity upon Himself knows how to sympathize with the
sufferings of humanity. Not only does Jesus know every soul, and
the peculiar needs and trials of that soul, but He knows all the
circumstances that chafe and perplex the spirit. His hand is
outstretched in pitying tenderness to every suffering child. Those
who suffer most have most of His sympathy and pity. He is touched
with the feeling of our infirmities, and He desires us to lay our
perplexities and troubles at His feet and leave them there.’
(MH249)

`Beyond the gloom is a sympathetic, compassionate Friend, One who does not willingly grieve or afflict the children of men.’ (HP14) |
`In
all the sufferings and afflictions of man there is an Eye to pity, a
Heart to love. "Like as a father pitieth his children, so the
Lord pitieth them that fear him" (Ps. 103:13). God's tenderest
care is exercised over us. He pities us in our weakness and in our
sorrow. We may be despondent, even despairing; the heavy clouds of
affliction may be over us; but there is light ahead.’ (HP14)
The

feature will help you to better relate to and to better cope with your trials
