There is no way a Christian can grow stronger by the earthly strength that he sees and feels. The confidence in their vain independence is nothing more than false power to overcome their circumstances. How can an impure piece of metal become pure and refine if it doesn't, first, go through the fire? There is a reason behind hardships. A reason why it's hard. If it's not, will we be content with our current state? God allows for painful and hard times so that we can grow and be strong in character. That is especially true when we use each hardship as a lesson for growth and not as a pessimistic reason to fight the world. Everything in the world is used by God to strength us all. If all is good, there is no way we can become all that God wills for us. We must allow for God to work and smooth out our impurities. God has definitely reveal my weakness, but guided me to my strengths. Not just pick me up and put me down, but allowing for some space to discover my strength and that is only in Christ. Nowhere else, no one better.
