The whining, murmuring pang never does anybody any good.\r\nPaul did not carry a cemetery with him, but a chorus of victorious praise; and the harder the trial, the more he trusted and rejoiced, shouting from the very altar of sacrifice. He said, \"Yea, and if I\r\nbe offered upon the service and sacrifice of your faith, I joy and\r\n\r\nrejoice with you all.\" Lord, help me this day to draw strength from all that comes to me! --Days of Heaven upon Earth.\r\nHe placed me in a little cage, Away from gardens fair;\r\nBut I must sing the sweetest songs Because He placed me there.\r\nNot beat my wings against the cage If it's my Maker's will,\r\nBut raise my voice to heaven's gate And sing the louder still!",1783499792050]
