If you are a child of God, every hardship, every challenge, every problem that might come your way in 2019 will come under this promise: God will work even this for your good.
God Measures All Our Sorrows. Look at the Book on Philippians 2:25–30
The greater the sorrow, the greater the grace.
The greater the hardship, the greater the help.
The greater the ache, the greater the comfort.

“Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man. We say that people are proud of being rich, or clever, or good-looking, but they are not. They are proud of being richer, or cleverer, or better looking than others.”
