Are you genuinely thankful for the painful things?
Didn't He say He would withhold no good thing from you?
Can He be trusted? If He can, you are missing a significant blessing when you are not thankful for the tough times.
Soldier of the Cross, Heaven will not hold big and little for us - or before or after. Nor will there be any picking up of the past.
Let it go and thank the Lord.
Look up and move on!
