To the afflicted ones I would say, be of good comfort in the hope of the resurrection morning. The waters of which you have been drinking are as bitter to your taste as were the waters of Marah to the children of Israel in the wilderness, but Jesus can make them so sweet with His love.... {FLB 186.2}

Til de forpinte vil jeg sige: Vær ved godt mod på opstandelsens morgen. De vande som du har drukket af, er lige så bittre for dig som Maras vande var for Israels børn i ørkenen, men Jesus kan gøre det lige så sødt som Sin kærlighed. . . .
