When you have hope, then problems are never bad news. That's because every problem is allowed by God, so that you will need to call on HOPE again. As a pastor, I have walked through the cemeteries of Southern California and I've walked away, leaving the caskets behind - little caskets, larger caskets, even a casket with a young woman in her bridal gown. In my thirty-six years as a clergyman I have seen people take their grief and look upon it as a challenge. The challenge in this case is to get on with life again.
Every negative condition can be a challenge.
If you have had a breakup in an important relationship, that's not a problem. That's a challenge to build new relation ships. After all, relationships are never one-sided. This breakup may be a challenge to confront your biggest personality defect. The truth is that most of us blind ourselves to our defects until some tragedy happens.
