The Process Of Pain

They say “absence makes the heart grow fonder”, and it’s mostly true, isn’t it? It’s true for just about anything. It’s the reason peaches are so good in the summer, or why springtime is so wonderful. We haven’t had the peaches, and we haven’t had the warmth, so they’re that much better.

So it is in our faith. One day we’ll be without pain, suffering, worry, or fear, and we’ll appreciate it so much more because we’ve been through it. While it doesn’t make suffering now any easier, with the right perspective we can get through.
