Getting in shape

“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

WHEN tragedies shake us, at home or abroad, remember the message summed up in Acts 14: 22: We must go through many hardships before we enter the kingdom of God. Like Christ, tough times will shape us, prepare us and refine us for the glorious time when God’s will is done here on earth as it is now, always has been and always will be done, in heaven.
