Sometimes something happens, and we think, “This is terrible. All is lost.”

And indeed, we do experience setbacks, tragedy, and loss.

But there are also times when we can step back and look at our situation through a wider lens.

In some times of trial — maybe many of them — we can find ways to see setbacks as setups to bigger and better things. Like fire that destroys, but also makes way for new life … some of our darkest moments are followed by beauty, light, and opportunity.
