You shall see the reason of all the trials and temptations, all the dark and comfortless hours, all the long and tedious conflicts and you will be convinced that not a sigh, not a single uneasy thought, was allotted to you without a wise and gracious design!

John 13:7 ... Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
Hebrews 12:10-11 ... For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
1 Peter 4:12-13 ... Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.❤
