從美國中西部金黃色的田野到巴勒斯坦翠綠色的古老疆域，善於觀察的人都會得出一個真理。最近，人們把這一真理闡述為：四月雨帶來五月花。它預示著：光明會於黑暗中迸發；剛強會從柔弱中煉就；如果你敢相信，甚至生命會從死亡中萌發！
所有的農民都知曉季節的重要性和恆久性。他們知道播種、收割的時令，也明白每件事都須應時而作。儘管無休止的傾盆大雨讓所有戶外勞作停止，但農民會為此興奮不已。因為他們懂得，雖然大雨會帶來諸多不便，但它提供的營養能使莊稼繁茂生長。四月裡的傾盆大雨，會造就五月的繁花似錦。
然而，這一古老的真理並不只適用於地裡的莊稼，它也是所有歷經磨難的人的無限希冀。一段友誼完結了，另一段全新的友誼之門便開啟；在這裡丟掉了工作，那裡就會有更好的工作機遇；一個破碎的夢想會孕生出一個美好的未來。一切皆有道。
要記住：無邊的黑暗或許會持續一整夜，但它永遠無法抵擋清晨的萬丈光芒。處於悲傷之時,你要堅持住，因為歡樂也許就要來臨……
