Joseph’s suffering was not wasted—it served a purpose. Every hardship, every betrayal, every setback became part of a chain of events that prepared him to become the second-highest official in all of Egypt.

In the same way, your suffering serves a purpose too. When you’re in the middle of it, it can feel like God has turned away from you—but He hasn’t. God is working all things together for your good, even when you can’t see it.
