As with every form of suffering, heartache brings with it catharsis, and turns us into better human beings. It is like an iron in the furnace that is beaten into shape, he said. These bad experiences were ultimately a good sign because God tests the ones He loves. That might be why He has so few friends, he added dryly. His words cheered me up a bit.
