Trials - their positive side
Instead of blaming everyone else for your difficulties, and even rebelling against God himself, reflect, meditate, and you will discover that these trials have a positive side. There are many qualities we cannot develop until we have passed through some suffering: setbacks, illness, and even the enmity of other human beings. Yes, that is why I will tell you that our enemies are often friends in disguise, because they force us to make the effort to progress. Jesus said, ‘Love your enemies’, and many people find this commandment impossible, absurd even. How can we love people who have done us harm? The only way to love them is by discovering that they are friends in disguise, sent to us by Providence, to make us advance along the path of self-mastery and freedom.*
