The world says, “if it does not kill you, it’ll make you stronger.” But, the word of God says it better. The issues/circumstance/trials we encounter will not only make us better, they’ll help deliver God’s promise to us if we don’t give up. Just like gold is purified and perfected in a very hot furnace or diamond is perfected under pressure so we are to be perfected for God’s glory through persecution. So dig ya heels in, brace yourself, stick around until God is done with His process. You’ll be glad u did.
2 Thessalonians 1:4-5
4 Therefore, among God’s churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring. (NIV)
5 And God will use this persecution to show his justice and to make you worthy of his Kingdom, for which you are suffering. (NLT).
Romans 5:3-4
3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; (NIV)
4 And endurance (perseverance) develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. (NLT).
