Unless we have gone through the trials and hardships of life we cannot begin to understand the pain and suffering of others. Without the valleys, the rough roads and obstacles along the way we can not appreciate the beauty of the mountaintop. Without the deep darkness of the night in the light of the day we become blind. I remember being out on the farm on the bald prairie where the darkness would penetrate deep into your soul. It seemed totally encompassing and overwhelming. The the sun would peek over the horizon and it's rays would spread and dance across the prairie landscape wiping away the darkness and overcoming fear with the joy of a new morning. We have precious and great promises that overcome the darkness and evil of the night. Take heart my child for joy comes in the morning.
2 Peter 1:4
Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
