Troubles come in all shapes and sizes. Trouble can be as small as a run in your stocking or as big as a trip to the emergency room. The same flat tire that made you a few minutes late for work could also be the same tire that kept you from harm on the highway. When troubles come, you have a choice-to let troubles destroy you or trandform you. A diamond is just a piece of coal that has undergone pressure. When you are handed a lump of coal in the form of trouble, it's an opportunity to see how God can transform it into spiritual tressure. ugly things can become jewels reflecting the light of God, if you are willing to go into the darkness with him and find the hidden treasures

God bless you Trinity,

Beautiful message. Jesus said that in this life we'll have tribulation. That word tribulation in the original Greek means a "pressing." This is along the idea of pressing grapes to get the juice out. That then can be made into wine or sweet grape juice.

The times hurt...i'm going through some serious ones right now, but they do produce the better fruit.

We read in Acts that "we must through much tribulation enter the Kingdom of God." But let patience have her perfect work.

Let God be praised...

Amen.

Tim L.
