Experience is...

Experience is...

Suffering

Loss

Failure

Long nights

Broken dreams

Wrong turns

Missed opportunities

Loneliness

Desperation

And yet, these all give us an experience that tempers knowledge and faith, gives our hearts greater insight, and draws us closer to reliance on God. Don't be afraid of experience, and steel yourself for life's trials. They must be faced and we must deal with them to be ready for what is yet to come.
