− | Abraham: This is a broad question, and I can only answer in broad terms. [[Adversity]] creates or rather requires [[reaction]]. This reaction builds [[strength]] and [[stamina]] in [[character]]. Each person [[experiences]] adversity for this [[purpose]]. If life were easy and [[blissful]] [[decisions]], hard decisions, would not be forced to be made. These [[essential]] [[decisions]] must be made in order for there to be [[soul]] strengthening. In the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_sower parable of the sower] we see that some [[seeds]] [[sprout]] readily and grow tall quickly, soon to be withered in the [[sun]], not having the requisite [[strength]], [[fortitude]] to withstand [[vicissitude]]. Each [[person]] is like a [[plant]], the good gardener, the [[Thought Adjuster]] who directs the tilling of your [[soil]], the fertilization of your [[roots]], the rain to fall, the [[wind]] to blow, the [[sun]] to shine. All this is done through the [[action]] of [[angels]] among others, and He sees to it that His beloved [[child]] [[receives]] what is needful for the best [[growth]] of his soul. [[Adversity]], even [[calamity]] can be part of nurturing [[process]]. The [[blessing]] of these seeming [[calamities]] may only be seen through hindsight and are not [[apparent]] to the growing [[seed]] child. | + | Abraham: This is a broad question, and I can only answer in broad terms.
