all that you’ve already faced in your life has strengthened you to face what’s ahead with more resiliency and assurance that God will take everything and work good from it (2 Corinthians 4:17–18). You aren’t that same unsure and vulnerable girl today that you were ten years ago. You’ve allowed what you’ve faced to strengthen you instead of weakening you. You are wiser. You are more discerning. You are more assured of how to stay close to God. So, you’ll go with God more readily and see His goodness ahead more quickly.
