The piece argues that growth comes from experiences that prepare us for learning and from enduring hardship. It highlights the law of readiness, cites figures like Franklin D. Roosevelt, Hosea, and Paul Tournier, and asks readers to seek blessings or lessons God may extract from adversity rather than resist pain.
