Hardship forces us to grab hands with one another and pull up closer together.

From Philippians 2:17-18:  “But even if I am being poured out as a libation over the sacrifice and the service of your faith, I rejoice, and I rejoice together with all of you; in the same way also you should rejoice and rejoice together with me.”
