The most important lessons  we have learned in life  are the result of God’s severe mercies.  They are events that were difficult  or even excruciating at the time  but later came to yield more good in our lives  than we could have foreseen.
  
我們從生命中所學到最重要的功課, 往往都是從神『嚴峻的恩典』而來。 那是指我們所經歷, 在當時極爲困峻、甚至是難以忍受的苦楚, 卻是在後來、 給我們的生命帶來意想不到的好處與幫助。
  
— by Timothy Keller  from his book 『The Prodigal Prophet: Jonah and the Mystery of God's Mercy』
