-
Strength: Facing adversity can build resilience and inner strength.
-
Wisdom: Misfortunes often provide invaluable life lessons.

Consider James 1:2-4: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance."
