Have you ever felt that you were living a perfect life, perfect family, perfect marriage, perfect health, and then suddenly something happened and shattered your perfect picture into pieces? Well it happens to all of us, Christians or not. However, for those of us who know Christ, we face it differently, because we have been warned. The Bible talks about the gift of the Spirit that will help us is “Endurance/Patience”. God never intended to make us into fragile Christians, but strong, experienced, reproved, so we can help others. In 2 Corinthians 6:1-10, Paul talked about his own ordeals. Please read it. There is a purpose and reasons for the troubles you are going through. We all have had our dreamed life shattered. It could have been or will be sickness, broken marriages, the loss of a loved one, infertility, poverty, etc. I want to encourage you to stand firm and seek the God who made you. He knows what He is doing. To be continued.
