"A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials." - Lucius Annaeus Seneca
This is a true story. This lady, as a child, almost lost her parents in
a divorce. Nine years later, she was married but lost her husband to
death's icy fingers, leaving her with four little children to raise. A
couple years later, her mother passed on. After her mother died, she
remarried but went through trials with her in-laws. Not long after, her
father, brother, and brother-in-law died of cancer. As if that was not
enough pain already, she experienced the death of her child to illness.
And currently, she also has another sick child. Both her and her husband
have been fired on their jobs, twice.
Charles Spurgeon said,
"Trials teach us what we are; they dig up the soil, and let us see what
we are made of." trials are inevitable in life, God allows it to come
your way to build you. With trials, you become wiser. You learn more
about yourself and the people surrounding you. Yes, sometimes your
trials might seem too much. Yet, know that, God is in it with you.
