We are not free to decide IF pain and struggle will come into our lives. We ARE free to decide how we will respond to it and where it will take us. Ultimately, there is hope that the pain we walk through will be the raw material for a change that will serve us more favorably in the future. As a grain of sand in the oyster transforms into a beautiful pearl, something good, even beautiful in your life, may begin as pain, but end in pearls.
