Letter from Newton

John Newton, from Letters of John Newton:

Therefore, do not be discouraged: usefulness and trials, comforts and crosses, strength and excercise go together. But remember He has said, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee; be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." When you get to heaven, you will not complain of the way by which the Lord brought you.
