The Lord gives the bread of adversity and the water of affliction for spiritual rebirth.

About This Quote

The Bible says that in order to become whole again, you have to go through the trials of life. You have to experience when things are going well and when things are not going well. It is said when you experience the depths of despair, when you can’t see how you are going to get out of a situation, when the world seems dark and hopeless, when you are in agony over something that has happened, then God will give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction for spiritual rebirth.
