I am confident that God always uses painful experiences to teach us. Even when I don’t understand what He’s doing, I’m comforted by this verse: “And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.” - 1 Peter‬ ‭5:10‬ ‭NIV‬‬
