Joy is more divine than sorrow, for joy is bread and sorrow is medicine.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Our yearnings are homesicknesses for heaven our sighings are for God, just as children that cry themselves asleep away from home, and sob in their slumber, know not that they sob for their parents. The soul's inarticulate moanings are the affections yearning for the Infinite, and having no one to tell them what it is that ails them.
Henry Ward Beecher
