Everything that happens to those who love God and who labor in God's vineyard has a purpose designed by God, ordained by God and is for the glory of God.

All things work together for good for those who love God and are called by God according to His Divine purpose.

Although some things when they happen may be difficult to understand how they can be for your benefit and for your good.

Every dark cloud has a silver lining and gold is found buried in dirt; even so all glory is achieved by travail and tribulation.

Without the trial of our faith, there is no glory.

Without glory being given to God, goodness would not exist.

Let us than not look for a life filled with comfort and ease; but instead accept the call of God to face adversity for God, that we may also partake of the diadem of glory in Heaven.
