I know God must still have a purpose for me, but admittedly, there is so much pain, I find myself selfishly wishing at times, the “temporal” were no more.
I meet very few people who are not struggling with something major in their lives.
Pain is weakness leaving the body (or the mind).
I can think of NO instance wherein my character was improved by good times.
Embrace the suck and while the pain may not go away, it will become valuable.
