No matter what giants you face, you have a spoiler alert: You know how your story ends. Don't get distracted by the ordinary or an offense, because God is using your current battle to prepare you for the victory.

Are you disappointed because of what happened… or because of what you expected would happen? When life feels unfair, it’s easy to compare your story to someone else’s and wonder why things worked out differently. But peace comes when you stop measuring your life against other people and start trusting the character of God.

Don't try to separate your struggles from your successes. Your pain is often intertwined with your purpose, and trying to pluck out the bad may remove the very thing God is growing. Trust that God is big enough to bless both and is using everything in your life for good.
