There isn’t a measure stick for what we go through but there is an opportunity in there somewhere to see it for the good that can and will unfold as a result of how we choose to navigate through it. We may not ever have proof or evidence or anything tangible that will ever comfort us that the good is offsetting the bad - we just have to remain hopeful that the one who provides peace hope and comfort for no matter what we face is always there and waiting for us to seek our eyes on him and ask him - what is my role in this that you can use me for good!
