Troubles Troubles are often the tools by which God fashions us for better things. God’s children are like tea bags: they have to go through hot water before the aroma becomes more pleasant. If you want a rainbow, you must put up with the rain. A storm-weathered tree is stronger and deeper-rooted than a sheltered one. It takes darkness to see the twinkling stars, and it is in the darkest hours when we appreciate God’s bright promises most. Deep Waters and a Bubbling Brook |
