We all love the idea of “better.” A better job. A better marriage. A better season. But what we don’t love is the journey it often takes to get there. Because more often than not, the road to better is bumpy, full of unexpected twists, and nothing like the path we imagined.

The truth is, some of God’s greatest gifts come wrapped in hardship. The very thing you’re asking Him to remove might be the thing He’s using to refine you, redirect you, and prepare you for the promise.

Today’s conversation is about embracing the bumps, not resenting them. Because if you only measure God’s goodness by how smooth the road is, you’ll miss the beauty of how He uses the rough terrain to strengthen your faith.
