The Lord is so good that with every suffering and disapppointment that comes our way, He always gives back more than what was taken away. I remember a particular text message that was passed on to me by a friend that goes like this, "When God asks us to put something down, that's because he wants us to pick up something better." Im not sure I got it all correctly but I'm sure you get the point.
It's true that when hardships hit us we always tend to ask, why is this happening to me? But I believe everything happens for a reason. There used to be a time when i didn't, but experience really is the best teacher. Sometimes when things don't materialize the way we expect them to, the natural urge is to question, which we ougth not to do ( though I know its hard not to). After a while we will realize that the disappointments are really blessings in disguise because there is something better out there waiting.
These difficulties also have a purpose. They are somehow used to polish us so that we will come forth as a precious gem. They serve as tools to remove the rough edges in our personality and our character so that we will become better persons. Through these things we are able to know ourselves better. We realize our weaknesses - accept them and find ways to turn them into stregths. We also learn our strong points and use them to improve oursleves and also to help others who are in need of it. But whether in times of trials or in hours of joy, we have a constant Companion who watches over us. He has been there from the start, He's with us now and will be with us till the end of the age.
