Suffering and growth

“While suffering does foster spiritual growth, contentment creates even more. You learn through peace—and more important, you can better teach your children and others when you’re in a state of joyful relaxation. You don’t need to suffer for the sake of growth! God certainly doesn’t want you to endure pain, any more than you want your own children to do so.”
