“Philippians 1:29: For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;” The Bible teaches that when we suffer we should rejoice. While that is not easy we are sometimes put through trials to help us grow as believers in Jesus. When we believe life is not perfect but when we suffer for His sake that means God is working in our hearts. “That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: – 1 Peter 7:2”. “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:16”. God has deep love for everyone and has given us the gift of life. God desires for us to walk in faith and do our best to live good lives. We are saved only through faith and the grace of God. Praise God. Amen.
