As I was sitting and pondering why we go through such hardships in our lives, I lifted my eyes to the sky and cried with all my soul to God and asked “WHY?” God answered, “My dearest child,” “If you never felt pain, then how would you know that I’m a Healer?” “If you never went through difficulties, how would you know that I’m a Deliverer?” “If you never had a trial, how could you call yourself an overcomer?” “If you never felt sadness, how would you know that I’m a Comforter?” “If you never made a mistake, how would you know that I’m forgiving?” “If you knew it all, how would you know that I will answer your questions?” “If you never were in trouble, how would you know that I will come to your rescue?” “If you never were broken, then how would you know that I can make you whole?” “If you never had a problem, how would you know that I can solve them?” “If you never had any suffering, then how would you know what Jesus went through?” “If you never went through the fire, then how would you become pure?” “If I gave you all things, how would you appreciate them?” “If I never corrected you, how would you know that I love you?” “If you had all power, then how would you learn to depend on me?” “If your life was perfect, then what would you need Me for?” And I sobbed “Thank You, Lord!”
