We look at trials and troubles and start to run away, thinking they will harm us or destroy us.  But God looks at them and sees what he can do through them to make us more like Him.  he uses every trial to help us grow and become more in His image.  We should never shrug the trials that come into our life.  We should embrace them and face them with joy (James 1:2).  He will turn all things for our good!
