You Grow in the Tough Times
Embrace and be thankful for your trials, If you’re being tested, you’re being perfected, which means you have a divine purpose and reason to rejoice. God has a reason for allowing things to happen…We may never understand His wisdom, but we have to Trust His will and Be Still.
Whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for Joy, for during this time, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow.. for when your endurance is fully developed, your Faith will be strong and ready for anything with God as your strength. Philippians 4:13
God wouldn’t put something hard in your life if He thought you weren’t strong enough to get through it. If He brings you to it, He will bring you through it. You will be tested by major changes, by delayed promises, by unanswered prayers, and even by senseless tragedies. But know all things work together for good for those who love Him. Romans 8:28
These trials are to test your Faith, to show it is strong and pure. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold and your Faith is far more precious to Him than gold. Look to Jesus and His promises for His strength, love and the endurance you need. For everyone must be tested. But by trusting God, with your burdens, they become light. By being faithful, to your belief in Jesus. You come forth as Gold.
Blessed are those who remain Faithful under trials, because when they succeed in passing such tests, they will receive as their reward the life which God has promised to those who love Him.
