What does God promise in times of sorrow?

To the unfortunate (wo)men whose circumstances and environments gave them nothing, but care and sorrow from the beginning to the end of life's journey, my encouragement will be given—

Life, after shaking off the mortal covering, gives you the most blissful feelings of joy. 

Every pain and sorrow seems to have been a means to lift you higher in the realms of bliss, and you feel sure your earthly trials have brought you this crowning reward.

—Spirit Robert G. Ingersoll
