"Your sufferings are not so great as your sins. Put these two in the balance and see which weighs the heaviest. Where sin lies heavy, sufferings lie light.
A carnal spirit makes more of his sufferings and less of his sins.
The carnal heart cries out, 'take away the suffering,' but a gracious heart cries out, 'take away the iniquity.'
The one saith, 'never anyone suffered as I have done,' but the other saith, 'never one sinned as I have done.'"
~Thomas Watson
