"can we gain from pain?"

Struggles, pain, sufferings..

They are all a part of our everyday lives. 

But why is there so much of it if God is good?

Can we gain anything from all of this pain?

I've thought about this question over and over and it was hard to find the right answer on my own.

So I reached out to a friend and he helped me see it from a different perspective.

Pain and suffering come out as good purposes.

God works through our struggles for the better.

And with this pain, we need to get through them to be able to love because if this world were to be perfect, we wouldn't need God at all.

With all the negative things happening to us and in this world, 

it allows us to see God.

God's plan for us is just so much greater than anything in this entire world.

We need to have complete faith in order for God to work in and through us because He's not against us, He's on our side.

We need to give up our burden and have trust in Him.

God knows the end from the beginning and will definitely work it out perfectly as He already has everything planned out.

" 'For I know the plans I have for you', declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' "

-Jeremiah 29:11

Thank God for what we have and for already having our lives planned out perfectly.

What cute pigs! =D
