“'Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.” C.S. Lewis

“We also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope…”

The answer to our hopes for a meaningful and fruitful life is often found in our response to tough times. Hardship in and of itself is just hard; it is the way we deal with it that determines if it proves beneficial. God certainly uses hardship but He also makes all grace abound for us to profit from tough times. Open your heart to drink deeply of grace just as the parched earth drinks in rain during a storm.
