“Now, before you can have a victory, there has to be a battle. And if there is no battles, there is no victories. So we ought to be thankful for the battles and the tryings, and it’s God giving us the opportunity to have victories. Oh, my! Don’t that make you a little bit better now? See? The battle come along; somebody saying something bad about you; sickness come onto you. Maybe God give you those light afflictions, that He might heal you and show His favor to you, let you see what He means by it, He loves you.” WMB
