Have you ever had a trial that you thought you wouldn't make it through? Or maybe you even asked, why God? Now that you're through it, are you thankful for it? That's not to say it's anything you'd ever want to go through again, but as Pastor David points out, we grow through it! The Lord allows that which He hates to accomplish that which He loves. He doesn't enjoy us being in or going through trials. However, He will allow it so that we can learn and grow from the experience. Lord let us be fast learners!
