Terry - Can you help me with the [[stress]] of the [[lawsuit]] I'm going through?

Ham: Yes, it is hard to feel [[grateful]] for the hard lessons of life but all of these difficult situations tend to [[focus]] the [[mind]] back to what is really important and true. [[Experiencing]] this in a [[marriage]] is difficult, but in the long run, it makes the marriage [[stronger]]. It gives you a unique [[perspective]] on the fleeting nature of all things man-made. With human eyes you look upon a person who has had their [[home]] destroyed by a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado tornado], and a person who has just won the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lottery lottery]. The one [[being]] seems terribly unlucky, the other terribly lucky. That's the [[human]] [[perspective]]. But [[the Father]] sees things differently. The Father sees the person who has lost [[everything]] as one who is being [[prepared]] for the [[next life]]. One who is learning that all things earthly [[evaporate]] and you cannot put your [[faith]] and [[trust]] into things of this world. He sees the one who has won the lottery as being unlucky, for having gained unearned ease that person actually is having a setback spiritually and will have to have many hard lessons to make up for it. [[Life]] is full of ups and downs - [[disasters]] and [[triumphs]]. Both are equally unreal. The only [[reality]] is [[spiritual growth]] - nothing else really matters. So ask yourself, are you growing from this [[experience]]? Of course, the answer is yes. You are gaining something much more valuable than any material damage you may have sustained. Be of great [[cheer]], for you do well. That is all.
