Joseph Heller

In adversity, there is opportunity. Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity.

Herman Melville

God in His infinite wisdom knows exactly what adversity we need to grow more and more into the likeness of His Son. He not only knows what we need but when we need it and how best to bring it to pass in out lives. He is the perfect teacher or coach. His discipline is always exactly suited for our needs. He never overtrains by allowing too much adversity into our lives.
