Sunsets are all beautiful, but the most spectacular sunsets are seen when there are clouds in the sky. Shades of purple, pink, red and yellow are displayed in a state of constantly changing beauty. No doubt we have said “wow” at some point as we have observed this display of beauty.

We, too, can be like the sunsets. Sometimes we have clouds in our lives that allow our true potential to be seen. These opportunities allow us to experience sorrow and joy while giving us the opportunity to show admirable character and a steadfast light. There are none more admired and respected than those who bravely face the clouds and storms of their lives—they are an inspiration to us all. James said to rejoice when you have a trial (James 1:2). It is an opportunity to inspire others.
