Joy has its roots in distressing experiences.

Fruits come from rain and sun.

Without suffering we would not understand the perfect.

Suffering pushes us to the limit of understanding and leads into the world of trust.

“Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy! He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him” (Psalm 126:4-6).
