In the past year, I’ve learned to be thankful for the trials God has placed me in. It’s hard to see suffering as a blessing but I’ve found that the times that I struggle the most is also when my vision of God is the clearest. It’s when I feel the most powerless that I’m reminded that I’m looking for joy in the wrong places, that my life isn’t about glorifying myself, but instead it’s about giving thanks to the one who gave me everything. And once these trials are overcome, they’re testaments to God’s intervention in my life.
