Summary

This quote suggests that trials and challenges that we face in life are opportunities for personal growth and preparation for future achievements. Comparing ourselves to an anvil, a tool used for shaping metal, implies that we are constantly undergoing a process of transformation and refinement. It implies that God (or a higher power) uses these difficulties to mold us into better versions of ourselves, preparing us for the greater purpose or goals that lie ahead. These trials may be seen as necessary steps towards personal development and growth.
