When hard times come, we sometimes feel like God is mad with us or we did something wrong. However, it's important to note that our character is developed in the hard times.
Romans 5:3-4 (NLT) states:3 We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. 4 And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.
So, let's not run from our valley seasons. Instead, let's thank God for the opportunity to trust Him more, knowing that we will be stronger, more resilient, and more fit for His work on the other side. Hang in there...it's a process.
