If you’re going through some hard times right now, remember that God doesn’t waste those moments. Hebrews 12 (actually quotes Deuteronomy 8:5) reminds us that God loves us like His children and as such, trials are used for our discipline — to bring about a harvest of righteousness.

Don’t give up in your difficulties. Trust that God will use them for your good and His glory. Trust that He is working, maybe to humble you, maybe to test you, maybe to provide supernaturally for you and/or maybe to remind you how much you need Him.
