It reminds us that we have limited perspective on the truly big picture God has in store for us. It helps us realize that what seems hard right now may be, in fact, a ginormous blessing to us later. And it gives us faith that it will all turn out okay in the end because God knows where he is taking us and He knows it we will LOVE it when we get there.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no fun to go through hard things. It\u2019s a bummer when things don\u2019t go the way we want them to. It\u2019s scary to go through difficult circumstances. It\u2019s painful to suffer loss. But all of those things are what help us grow and become stronger. All of those things make us into someone who is a better person.<\/p>\n<p>Have faith and don\u2019t ever give up hope. Great things are still to come. How do I know that? Because the author of your story only writes AMAZING books \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Have a great day!<\/p>\n<p>~Amy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWhat you and I might rate as an absolute disaster, God may rate as a pimple-level problem that will pass.
