Really valuable reminder. We often do confuse patience with helplessness or, on the flip side, justify our own coldness by the hardships we've been through. Looking at trials as a springboard, not a weight around your neck-that's a serious reason to rethink your own reactions.

But give glad tidings to those who are patient…” (2:155) We all go through this “purgatory” of trials and hardships, but just being tested doesn’t mean you’ve actually passed it. Why is that?
