I've been a runner for about 36 years. One time in my life I was going some extremely difficult and painful circumstances. I was on my knees praying with all my might, asking God, "Why am I going through these difficult circumstances?" and he surprised me by answering with a question, "Why do you run?" Without thinking I answered, "To be stronger". Exactly...
Looking back, I can see how those difficult circumstances made me stronger and closer to him.
