GRACED with TRIALS

Don't see your trials as hindrances, but rather see them as providences. You see, God will grace us with the very tribulation that the soil of our soul needs in order to grow. He loves us too much to leave us in the same condition He found us. Thus, He graces us with temporary trials so we can develop eternal qualities. "And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope" (Romans 5:3-4).
