While the phrase “everything happens for a reason” isn’t a direct quote from the Bible, it reflects a common belief in Christian teachings. The Bible acknowledges both joy and suffering, reminding us that all events in life are under God’s watchful eye. Through every trial, we are encouraged to persevere, to find meaning, and to move towards hope and God’s light.
God has given us the gift of consciousness and a rich, complex life so we may learn, grow, and choose goodness even in adversity. Jesus Christ himself exemplified this during his time on earth, facing trials with grace and faith. We are not promised an easy life, but in accepting life’s challenges, we may find peace. And when we face struggles, we must remember that these moments will not define the entirety of our lives.
