Proverbs 20:30 - We grow and change for the better
Proverbs 20:30
We grow and change for the better when there are hard times.
The actual verse is "Blows and wounds scrub away evil,
and beatings purge the inmost being."

Yes indeed! Hard time molds us into better persons. Important also to note that the best steels are those that pass through the hottest furnace. Thanks @goodreads for this one.
My pleasure
Humbling experiences are common to many of the most amazing people I know or have read about.
Adversities can bring us closer to the Lord if we take them positively. They somehow give us a realization of our nothingness apart from Him and our dire need of His strength and power..
@goodreads
I like the way the ISV puts this same verse:
Put that side by side with this scripture:
Sometimes God uses those who are close to us to make us better and to correct us from going further into error.
We must be bold enough to speak the truth in love to those who are friends and loved ones of ours.
We should not say we cannot tell them the truth because we love them and don't want them to get hurt. Also, we should not step out of love because we claim we're saying the truth.
We can maintain a healthy balance of both as we do what needs to be done.
Thank you
Another great revelation. Thanks for sharing this. God bless everyone.
Severe rebukes sometimes do a great deal of good. But such is the corruption of nature, that men are loth to be rebuked for their sins. If God uses severe afflictions, to purify our hearts and fit us for his service, we have cause to be very thankful.
Matthew Henry’s Bible Commentary
