I COPPIED THE FOLLOWING FROM MILES' FACEBOOK PG ON 5/27/14... :)
"I woke up this morning and was prompted to write this... I hope these words helps someone that is suffering or helps someone you know that is suffering.
The greatest spiritual leader of the modern era once asked while suffering persecution and terribly cruel acts... 'O God, where art thou? And where is the pavilion that covereth thy hiding place?'
The reassuring response came:
...
'My son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment;
'And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes.'
The Lord has promised better days with these words 'Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy.'
"Trials mold us to become like Christ. Christ suffered for our sins, felt our pains, and struggles. The question should be asked when we do not want struggles... do we think we better than him? And God would answer... 'The Son of Man hath descended below them all. Art thou greater than he?' Christ himself suffered and was tried... it is by passing through sorrow that we learn good from the evil, sorrow versus joy, gain wisdom and compassion for others that suffer, etc., are refined from a piece of coal to a diamond.
"So let us have faith that there are always better day ahead as Christ has promised us 'if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high.'"

There is a ripple effect in all that we do; what you do touches me, what I do touches you...
