“For bruising is a blessing; but it is a blessing nonetheless. It’s a strange, dark companion, but a companion – if only because it has passed through God’s inspecting hand. It’s an unwelcome guest, but still a guest. I know that it drives me to a nearer, more intimate place of fellowship with Jesus, and so I take pain as though I were taking the left hand of God.” Joni Eareckson Tada from A Place of Healing: Wrestling with the Mysteries of Suffering, Pain, and God’s Sovereignty
