Paul says we glory in suffering because it produces perseverance, then character, then hope. But this only happens when we choose how we respond to the trial.
The same disciples who hid now rejoiced to suffer for Jesus' name. The resurrection turned persecution from something to avoid into a badge of honor.
God does not promise that all things are good, but that He works all things together for good. He is the Master Weaver who uses even the dark threads.
