Title: Benefits of Difficult Days

When we go through tough times, we often wonder, Lord, why did you allow this to happen to me? Then six months or two years down the road, a close friend or family member experiences the same difficulty; and we get to encourage them because we've been there, we've seen the Lord carry us through.

What Does God Say? "

He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When others are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. You can be sure that the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. So when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your benefit and salvation! For when God comforts us, it is so that we, in turn, can be an encouragement to you. Then you can patiently endure the same things we suffer. We are confident that as you share in suffering, you will also share God's comfort" (2 Corinthians 1:4-7 , NLT).
