finding the lesson

We don't like difficulty, but it always brings a lesson.  You can't see the lesson during the struggle, but after the fact, if we look at a thing, we can see that somehow, even the painful things in life bring lessons.

11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. 12 Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. 13 “Make level paths for your feet,”[b] so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.                 Hebrews 12:11-13

Trees get stronger when the wind blows on them.  Muscles get stronger when strained.  We may not like it, but even difficult times can bring important lessons.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

I think there is also merit in reaching the point where one is aware, IN the struggle, of the potential lessons to be learned. :)
