This is a forwarded email from our daughter Jamie. She sent it to us in October 1999, a few months after her sister Merry was killed. I liked it then; and I like it now:
 
The Saviors words...

If you never felt pain,
Then how would you know that I'm a Healer?

If you never went through difficulty,
How would you know that I'm a Deliverer?

If you never had a trial,
How could you call yourself an overcomer?
 
If you never felt sadness,
How would you know that I'm a Comforter?
 
If you never made a mistake,
How would you know that I'm Forgiving?
 
If you knew all,
How would you know that I will answer your
questions?
 
If you never were in trouble,
How would you know that I will come to your
rescue?
 
If you never were broken,
Then how would you know that I can make you
whole?
 
If you never had a problem,
How would you now that I can solve them?
 
If you never had any suffering,
Then how would you know what I went through?
 
If you never went through the fire,
Then how would you become pure?
 
If I gave you all things,
How would you appreciate them?
 
If I never corrected you,
How would you know that I love you?
 
If you had all power,
Then how would you learn to depend on me?
 
If your life was perfect,
Then what would you need Me for?
