Every human being on this earth knows that life is not without pain or trials. For most of us these conditions are an inconvenience, trials to be endured, or if possible, avoided. But there are a select few who when faced with bleak and cruel and unfair ordeals, refuse to complain – but rather use them as tools to create something so beautiful that it transcends this world and makes them exceptional human beings. They have the foresight to see the grandness of a flourishing garden, even as the soil is tilled and the seeds are sown. From a rocky and barren field they can envision beautiful flowers, velvety grass, fruit-laden orchards, hardy shrubs, a cool flowing brook and a sturdy majestic forest. It takes uncommon faith, resolute perseverance and uncompromising trust that God not only has our best interest at heart, but knows which trials and what pains will uniquely bless us individually and help us become who He wants us to become - the best us we can possibly ever become in preparation to someday live with Him in His Kingdom, in the splendor of His glorious, infinite and eternal garden.
