A gem is not polished without rubbing,
nor a man perfected without trials.
-- Chinese Proverb

If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation;
if we are comforted, it is for your comfort,
which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer.
And our hope for you is firm,
because we know that just as you share in our sufferings,
so also you share in our comfort.
2 Corinthians 1:6-7

It is good for me that I have been afflicted,
That I may learn Your statutes.
Psalms 119:71
