I am not sure why we have to go through them to grow. Why can't we just 'get it'. I wish it would work that way but it never has for me. Sometimes I think the trials come in part because we fail to appropriate the truth that God shows us until there is pressure to do so. LIke do you pray more in good times or bad times? Maybe if we (I) prayed more in the good times the bad times would be fewer. Just a thought.
