The Contrasts of Life

If you constantly remember death, you will have a fuller life; If you remember the suffering, your faith, hope and contentment will be strengthened in God; If you remember the loss, you will value more the blessings that God has given you; If you remember your needs, you will remember that God is the only one who can meet them. Therefore, when we remember what is bad in our lives, we remember what is good, so that we value what is good more and do not take our focus away from what really matters.
