Your seasoning won't come without suffering, but God doesn't let pain go unaccounted for. He wants you to get something out of those seasons of hurt, or else He wouldn't have allowed them to happen. What afflictions have you endured to get to where you are, and did they make you better or bitter? If you don't make peace with your past, you cannot stand effective in your present or future. It's time to reckon with what you thought you lost and start winning with what you've been given. Because what you have now is enough.
