I read this yesterday and thought you all might like it....
There once lived in Scotland a man who had fallen and broken his back as a lad of fifteen. For forty years he lay on his bed and was moved only with the most terrible pain. Probably in all forty years there was not a day when he did not suffer acutely. But day after day was God's grace found sufficient, and many people came to him for cheer and courage in Christian living.
Once a visitor asked, "Doesn't Satan ever tempt you to doubt God? Doesn't he try to make you think Christ is a hard Master?"
"Oh, yes," he answered, "When I see friends walking by in perfect health, Satan fairly screams, 'If God loved you, why did He permit you to be broken?'"
"Then I take him to Calvary, show him Christ, and point to those deep wounds, and say, 'Doesn't He love me?' And the fact is that Satan got such a scare there 1900 years ago, that he cannot stand to be reminded of Calvary; he flees from me every time."
