"God will use our painful trials, our sins, and the sins of others to show us 

more about our hearts, 

more about our need of him, 

more about our desperate need of the gospel, 

more about the brokenness of the fallen world in which we live. 

He will use these trials to refine and sanctify us and to teach us 

to focus more on the true treasure that we must seek, 

which is him and him alone."

(Iain M. Duguid and Matthew P. Harmon)
