I was thinking that sometimes I wish I didn't have to go through the rough times of life, but I remembered that it is the rough times that produce the greatest value of one's character.
- If it wasn't for the irritant grain of sand in the midst of the oyster, the pearl would not be born.
- If it wasn't for the dryness of the land, the trees would not be deeply rooted and strong.
- If it wasn't for the cries of a needy child in the middle of the night, a mother's love would not be shown.
- If it wasn't for blows of the sharp blade, the facets of a diamond would not increase its value.
In the same way, God allows the pains of life to show His love and care to us His beloved children.
Psalm 12:5 NAS
"Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy, Now I will arise," says the LORD ; "I will set him in the safety for which he longs."
