10 Reasons why suffering works for the good of believers (Thomas Watson)

In his Divine Cordial on Romans 8:28 the Puritan Thomas Watson says that suffering works for the good of the believer, as 

1. It preaches to us and teaches us
2. It is a means for making the heart more upright. (Think of a needle between two magnets.)
3. It conforms us to Christ
4. It destroys sin
5. It is the means of weaning our hearts from the world
6. It makes way for comfort
7. It magnifies us
8. It is a means of making us happy Happy is the man whom God corrects (Job 5:17)
9. It puts to silence the wicked
10. It makes way for glory
