The Triumph of the Christian Faith

[ozmum]

Not in freedom from trial, but in the midst of it, is Christian character developed. Exposure to rebuffs and opposition leads the follower of Christ to greater watchfulness and more earnest prayer to the mighty Helper. Severe trial endured by the grace of God develops patience, vigilance, fortitude, and a deep and abiding trust in God. It is the triumph of the Christian faith that it enables its followers to suffer and be strong; to submit, and thus to conquer; to be killed all the day long, and yet to live; to bear the cross, and thus to win the crown of glory.

Thanks for your post. Sometimes I wish my character didn't have to be developed so much. But then, I seem to learn better, unfortunately, the hard way and God knows that very well. Good for me to read your post.

Peace-

Tigg ,I appreciate your comment .
I never enjoyed the hard things but I have learnt to praise God for them in recent years .It does make a difference .Praising God when it seems like everything is not going like it should ,is an act of faith .And somehow everything is better when you are praising God.

Can I recommend my daughter's newsletter to you.
You may find it encouraging.
