Life is like that also; we go through things and are faced with different situations that may test and try us, so when we look back later we see how much we have grown and learned from those challenges.
1 Peter 1:7 says this, "These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold--though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world."
Maybe you're in a situation at the moment where you're unsure of how to continue, or you think you've reached the end, I encourage you to press on, realize that you are being refined, polished like a diamond so you can sparkle and shine like the jewel that you are. Don't give up, for you have so much to give the world.

This is so beautiful and encouraging. It's funny how things can seem so horrible in the moment, but looking back you see it was all for good. I definitely needed to be reminded of this today!
