Adversity--#2

This time from "The Peacemaker" by Ken Sande--

"God uses conflict to stretch and challenge you in carefully tailored ways. This process is sometimes referred to as the "ABC of spiritual growth": Adversity Builds Character. As you worry less about going through conflict and focus more on growing through conflict, you will enhance that process and experience the incomparable blessing of being conformed to the likeness of Christ" (p. 37)

The wording was intriguing--"going through" instead of "growing through" conflict.

Praise God for His providential sovereignty over our lives--in the good and the bad!
