Hidden Treasures
I
pray God may open your eyes and let you see what hidden treasures he bestows on
us in the trials from which the world thinks only to flee. Shame turns into
honor when we seek God’s glory. Present affliction becomes the source of
heavenly glory. To those who suffer wounds in fighting his battles God opens
his arms in loving, tender friendship, which is more delightful by far than
anything our earthly efforts might produce. If we have any sense, we shall
yearn for these open arms of God.
Saint
John of Ávila (1500-1569)
