I heard of a story of some visitors to another country. A group of tourists asked an old man if any great men were born in his small town. He replied, “No, only babies!”
God produced great men and women through the process of growth and sanctification. Growth isn’t always easy though. The ups and downs of life can be painful, but God uses it all in the life of the Christian. He is able to use suffering and difficulty redemptively. According to an old Chinese proverb, “The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.” So we can embrace our difficulty knowing that God is working in us and making us more like Christ.
