"Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?" (Hebrews 12:7)
And
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything," (James 1:2-4).
Apparently God likes you and sees you as a worthwhile gem to refine and polish. Pretty soon you will be even more sparkly than you are now. 💎
