SEASONS: As we go through ‘seasons’ in our lives, God uses them to conform us to His image….as if to help prepare us for enjoying eternity with Him in heaven. For example: when we go through times of illness, we learn things spiritually that we might not learn any other way. Like the way that we then know how to comfort others with the way we were comforted. I’ve heard it described as if some seasons in our lives are like a parenthesis.
