Have you ever looked back at a season of deep pain and realized the fruit it produced was worth every hard step? Today, Pastor Bill describes how God sometimes allows difficult things to come even as you walk faithfully with Him. They might not be random; they could be designed to bear awesome fruit that could not come any other way. Think of Mary and Joseph: what they walked through was difficult, yet on the other side, having carried and raised the Son of God, they stood in a place no one else ever could.
