Trials

Often in life we experience trials for one reason or another.  The evil one would often try to get us to give up, or to choose escapism as a solution. 

Instead we must invite Jesus into our struggles.  He understands them better than anybody, or anything we may want to try to use as an escape.  He wants to help...all we must do is ask.   I pray that we would escape to him...and let him carry the burden,  We were never ment to.

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 thick of what Christ experienced.  This is a spiritual refining process, with glory just around the corner.
