Suffering can either strengthen or weaken our dedication to God. The more dedicated we are to earthly attachments, whether people or things, the more we grieve when they are removed from us. If we pride ourselves in our health, then we can become emotionally decimated over a disease or ailment. We may see this as God's retribution instead of God's challenge to look beyond our own condition. But they don't blame God, nor are their lives continually cluttered with destructive self-pity.
Wisdom is the prudent application of knowledge.
Knowledge is gained through reading and studying, but wisdom comes from time and experience. Hard times and hard experiences. If you have prayed for wisdom, be careful that you don't spurn its instruction when hardships befall you. Suffering teaches empathy Those who have gone through hard times, when they overcome, not only tend to be more empathetic toward others, but they can often be more helpful than others in lifting up someone who is going through a similar situation. If they can be faithful, so can you.
