struggles

Hardships are a blessing in disguise. It builds up my character and and shapes me into the image that God intended me to be. But God doesn't give me all the answers. Hardships are opportunities not a guarantee to happiness. How I view the problems and how I deal with them reflects my current state and will determine the growth I will receive from them. If I never ask myself what I can learn from these gifts from God, it will have been for naught. Or worse, I can end up blaming God for my hardships. 
Struggles are a "great delight", if I remember that they are.
