Dear friends, don't be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. Instead, be very glad- for these trials make you partners with Christ in His suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing His glory when it is revealed to all the world.
1 Peter 4:12,13 NLT

I have never gotten disillusioned by my walk with Jesus. I knew it would be a bed roses - for it is a very sweet place. But roses have thorns. And I encounter those, too.

I've encountered many incredibly difficult things since I came to know Jesus. But my present suffering is nothing in comparison to the glory that will come in His presence. All I want is for Him to say, "Well done."

I will be reading in a couple of hours. I hope you all are well.
I'm praying for you!
