This is so incredibly true. We often wonder why God allows such difficulties in our lives, this is why. First, we grow in our holiness as we learn to accept our struggle and trust God to see us through; second, we grow in strength and endurance as we learn just how strong we really are; fourth, we grow in gratitude and charity as we reflect on our struggles and what we did, what our faith did, and what others did to help overcome that adversity.
