Glory Just Around The Corner
It just happened to (ha!) read these verses this morning...
"Friends, when life gets really difficult, don't jump to the conclusion that God isn't on the job. Instead, be glad that you are in the very thick of what Christ experienced. This is a spiritual refining process, with glory just around the corner.
So if you find life difficult because you're doing what God said, take it in stride. Trust him. He knows what he's doing, and he'll keep on doing it."
1 Peter 4:12-13, 19 The Message
Here's what I think God is telling me all that time... "I never promised that it would be easy, but I did promise that it would be good."

My aunt Linda always says this quote..."God never said it would be easy. He said it would be worth it."
