it takes a spiritual man to say this.

...God puts the power to obtain all we desire within us, it's tapping into that power that proves difficult for most. It requires sacrifice, humility, the ability to look at one's self and see and accept one's flaws and shortcomings. It takes the strength to ask Him for help. You'd be surprised how difficult it is to truly do that.

God, I thank You for pain, because it shows us how precious and rare true pleasure is; I thank You for confusion, because it allows us the opportunity to find clarity; frustration, because it allows us room to develop patience; for weakness, because it allows us to become stronger; for ignorance, because it allows to learn...

...there are no accidents, no coincidence, everything happens when and because it's supposed to, so be that person a burden or a blessing, they were necessary, and appreciated.
