You can't have sunshine without the rain? Actually you can. Don't do anything to bring rain in your life.

Everyone's familiar with the phrase "You can't have sunshine without rain" In other words, you can't have good times without bad. Because we live in a fallen, sinful world, this is the unfortunate reality. At the same time, we have the power of choice. We have a choice to give or be selfish, spend or save, follow God or Satan, etc. You gain so much more when you give, because you never know when someone will return the favor. You could be in need one day, and someone remembers how you came through for them so they help you out. That's an example of having sunshine without the rain. If you decided to be selfish, you could have said no. The person could do one of two things: 1. Help you out of the goodness of their heart. 2. Help you anyway, but tell you not to come to them for anything else. Here's the catch: They would be within their right to refuse assistance because you didn't help them or someone similar. Because we have free will, that gives us power to create our own sunshine & rain. We can choose to have a sunshine filled life, or we can have a life full of rain, the choice is ours (for the most part.). Again, because we live in a fallen world, situations out of our control will come upon us. Nothing we can do about it, but take life as is daily. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm determined to create my own sunshine in life. I've had too much rain to want anything else. Rain can also be good because it washes away those impurities in our lives so we can shine brighter than before.
