About This Quote
Everyone has heard this saying. It is a clever way to get people to stop complaining about their negative experiences and actually help them through them. This saying comes from an example of a woman who went to church and had her car stolen. She was angry and did not understand how someone could steal something that she loved.
Her pastor told her not to worry about it because he had been there and knew what she was going through. He told her that if you loved your car, then you would get another one.
