God doesn't see adversity and suffering in the same way we do. An opportunity for advancement. Suffering brings a challenge. When we accept the challenge, we can advance. An opportunity for victory.
Victory only comes in battle.
Without a battle, we could have no victories in our Christian life. The good news is, we are guaranteed a victory in every battle we face. An opportunity for growth. Maturity comes through struggles. This is true both in our natural lives and in our spiritual lives.
