How God's grace meets us in our sufferings

How does God’s grace meet you in your sufferings? We can make
the right answer sound old hat, but I guarantee this: God will surprise you. He will make you stop. You will struggle. He will bring you up short. You will hurt. He will take his time. You will grow in faith and in love. He will deeply delight you. You will find the process harder than
you ever imagined—and better. Goodness and mercy will follow you all
the days of your life (Ps. 23:6). No matter how many times you’ve heard
it, no matter how long you’ve known it, no matter how well you can
say it, God’s answer will come to mean something better than you could
ever imagine. --David Powlison
