Turning Darkness into Light

God has told us to expect to go through difficult times during our life here on earth.  Hardships cannot be avoided because the Devil is doing his best to orchestrate negative circumstances around us.  God is light and he is not responsible for the tribulations and calamities that we face.  However, he is always greater than those circumstances and if we turn to him, he will bring us great victory over them.  And we will grow spiritually in the process.
