Smooth Seas Do Not Make Skillful Sailors

Luke 21:25 
"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh."

The greatness comes not when things 
go always good for you.
 But the greatness comes when you're really tested, 
when you take some knocks, some disappointments, 
when sadness comes. 
Because only if you've been in the deepest valley
 can you ever know how magnificent it is to be 
on the highest mountain.
