He, who is loving, and is perpetually attached to God, would not be harmed by the violent waves, however abundant they may be, but, on the contrary, he would emerge out of them with a new strength. – St John Chrysostom . .

We hide in Him so that sufferings may have no dominion over us. He suffered because of love, thus He changed the concept of suffering.
