We are not destined to be loved by the world; it’s usually the opposite. It’s perhaps the cruelest truth, in the world, but it provides us with indelible purpose, and a deep love of true friends. We are given these tests because he knows that we can triumph over them, and that the hard-fought struggles of this world make the rewards of the next all the more satisfying. In the end, we will win, because Jesus has already won, for us.
