Encouraged by this quote from Girl Talk Blog:
"Jesus said this to show by what kind of death he was to glorify God. (John 21:19)
'How should we think about the unexpected and undesirable experiences
that we encounter in life? Here's how Scripture should inform our
thinking: Every experience that we don't want but can't change has been
assigned to us by God, ultimately that we might glorify God. Let's stop
for a moment and think about a particular situation that may be
happening in our lives at present--something that we may not want, we
don't enjoy, but we can't change. And then consider this: God in His
good and wise providence specifically assigned this to you and me so
that we might glorify Him. Now when we begin to look at our unwelcome
experiences from this vantage point, it can bring about a heart change!
Rather than begrudging it or even despairing over it, we can instead
respond with faith and joy knowing full well that it is a divinely given
opportunity to glorify God.'"
