Why does God allow His children to have troubles? Well, there are many reasons, but they can be summed up in one word: BENEFITS. He sees the benefits. Tests and trials strengthen and shape our character. They make us better people and better Christians. *

The story is told of a violin maker who searched for years for wood that would give his instruments a special, haunting resonance. When his search finally ended, it was not in a tree nursery or sheltered valley grove, but on a craggy mountaintop, just below the timberline, where the winds had blown so fiercely and steadily that the branches of the trees all pointed one way and bark had no chance to grow on the windward side. *

Wood from those stormbeaten trees had the closest, most intricately woven grain of any wood he had ever found. It was firm, tough, and strong, and it gave his violins their special sound. *

Even so, when God fashions His children for their place in His Kingdom, He doesnt put them in lush lowlands, but high on rugged mountainsides where they must learn to withstand the storms of life. Those who endure become strong and s y. They are God's choice stock, whose lives give forth a special beauty. *

The tests and trials of life also make us more aware of our own weakness and inability, so we learn to depend more on Jesus. Like the tree on the mountainside that sinks its roots deep into the crevices between the rocks, we hold on to the Lord for dear life. *

He proves to us in those difficult, desolate places that He is enough to sustain us. We turn out stronger for it, because we learn to draw on His strength. *
