Never have I ever heard someone tell me that they are "glad" that I am going through a tough time. No, never have I ever heard someone tell that to another person. Yet, when I heard it, I knew it was true and I knew that I am, in a very weird way, thankful for the problems I am facing.
It may be difficult, it may be tough, it may be a freaking nightmare that I thought would never happen to me or to someone I know, but I am so thankful that I am going through it. Without a situation like this, I don't think I would have learnt to let go and realise that as strong and as capable as we think we are, it is better to share the burden with your community and know that they are so ready to love and help. I honestly think that I would have forgotten the importance on relying on God and would have continued to just keep thinking that I, as a weak and imperfect person, would have been able to get through it.
Times of suffering...yes, they may be tough. Yes, they may be painful. But then again, you gain so much.
