Drawn Into the Fellowship of Calvary

"What if every stroke of pain, or hour of weariness or loneliness, or any other trial of flesh or spirit, could carry us a pulsebeat nearer some other life, some life for which the ministry of prayer is needed; would it not be worthwhile to suffer? Ten thousand times yes. For the further we are drawn into the fellowship of Calvary with our dear Lord, the tenderer we are toward others, the closer alongside does our spirit lie with them that are in bonds; as being ourselves also in the body. God never wastes His children's pain."
