By Design

The trials in life are designed to test our faith and thus to deepen it. The trials in life are designed to reaffirm whose branch we are. The trials in life are to enable us to bear more fruit--to be more fully controlled by the Spirit and dependent on Him. The trials in life immerse us in His grace. The trials in life are supplied to make our treasure in Heaven greater than our treasures on earth. The trials in life are to daily renew and enrich our immortal souls as our mortal bodies decay. The trials in life allow us to make His presence known to the world around us, to glorify Him. The trials in life make us His blessed people.
Rejoice.
