These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.
(1 Peter 1:7 NLT)
There are times when I wonder why all the trials, why the suffering?? God teaches us that these trials build endurance and draw us closer to God. I have to be honest, I ask God, isn't there an easier way...why go through all of this?
His response: "My beautiful and faithful child, do you not see the sacrifice of my son...the trials and sufferings he endured? The price for your life was death and all I ask in return is a relationship with you; yet you fight against my will. Therefore the trials and suffering comes from this constant battle with me; instead of letting go of everything you hold on earth to be valuable."
Lord continue to test me so I don't forget to rely on you for all my strength!
