Saw this post on Facebook and wanted to share it. Sometimes, God has to break you before He blesses you. He doesn't just hand you the blessing - He prepares you for it. You pray for success, and He teaches you resilience. You ask for strength, and He puts weight on your shoulders - not to crush you, but to build you. Sometimes, the storms you complain about are the very tools shaping your future. The setbacks, the detours, the delays- they're not stopping you; they're shaping you. So if life brings rain, don't resist it- trust it. God is making sure you're strong enough to carry what's coming. One day you'll smile- not because the pain is gone, but because you'll see it was never wasted.
